Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I had some problems with my gnome configuration (not related to
  update-manager), so I had to reset all gnome configuration by removing
  gnome directories. I did that using this command in my home directory
  (now I know it wasn't such a good idea.. :)):

  rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity

  After that everything works fine except Update Manager (update-manager
  package). If I try to run the program from a terminal I get the
  following error message:

  --------------------
  vilius at vilius-work:~$ update-manager

  (process:14671): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
      Using the fallback 'C' locale.
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 107, in <module>
      app = UpdateManager(data_dir, options)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 119, in __init__
      logging.exception("setlocale failed")
  NameError: global name 'logging' is not defined
  --------------------

  I tried reinstalling update-manager, but it didn't help.

  I know, I'm the one to blame for deleting those directories. But
  still, a good program should expect missing configuration files and
  use default configuration in that case, that's why I'm reporting this
  bug.
