Description

Crash of Gestor de Actualizaciones

me pasó igual cuando quise repetir el error.

Cómo se produce:

Ejecuto el Gestor de Actualizaciones
Click en Instalar las actualizaciones
Aparece la ventana que pide el password.
no lo ingreso y me voy a tomar un café
vuelvo a los 30 minutos y veo que sobre la ventana del Gestor aparece otra que dice:
Ocurrió un error que no se puede manejar
Parece que aptkit tiene un problema.

cierro la ventana y aparece otra que dice:
La tarea no pudo monitorizarse o controlarse
Se ha perdido la conección con el demonio

cierro la ventana y el Gestor se cierra también.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in Update Manager 7.0.7.1 using the described flow: begin an installation, leave the password prompt unanswered for about 30 minutes, and observe the resulting errors. Done means this delayed-password scenario no longer crashes or closes Update Manager, with the reported aptkit and daemon-monitoring errors investigated.
