[Bug 416179] [NEW] [Karmic] After last round of updates and reboot kpackagekit dies trying to start update search

[seasoned_geek]

Public bug reported:

Received this error when attempting to launch KPackageKit after a
reboot.  All updates that could have been applied this morning were
applied.  As I recall there were still 24 blocked updates when I got
done.

Error Type: Error Value: 'PackageKitCache' object has no attribute
'_dict' File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line
1966, in main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py,
line 1963, in main run(args, options.single) File :
/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 1925, in run
backend.dispatcher(args) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 643, in dispatcher
self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 540, in dispatch_command
self.get_updates(filters) File :
/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 653, in
get_updates for pkg in self._cache.getChanges(): File :
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py, line 164, in getChanges
for p in self: File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py,
line 196, in __iter__ for pkgname in sorted(self._dict.keys()):


This is now going to require some kind of "hand" fix since the update process cannot start.  I imagine mish-mashing KPackageKit and Synaptic has wonderful side effects.
