[Bug 613412] Re: packagekit in maverick causes error in apt operations

[Eugene Jones]

Same here, I was experiencing this problem (on 16.04 xenial) each time I
ran 'sudo apt update' or any apt commands.

Fixed by installing 'packagekit'. Not even sure what that does, but it
must have done something because the error is gone now
