Bug Description

I have 3 different kubuntu 904 partitions. Today when I run the update manager two partitions out of 3 were updated OK (one reported a blocked update), but when I run it on the third partition I got the following error message:

A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.
Please report this bug with the error description.

This bug was fixed in the package packagekit - 0.4.9+20090825-0ubuntu1

---------------
packagekit (0.4.9+20090825-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream snapshot provding a lot of APT backend improvements:
    - Allow to install updates which require the installation of additional
      packages. Updates depending on the removal of a package are still
      blocked (LP: #342671, LP: #374011, LP: #374011)
    - Warn about the installation of untrusted package (LP: #256245)
    - Don't crash in APT post update hook if system D-Bus daemon isn't
      running (LP: #388623)
    - Don't try to estimate a download progress during cache updating, since
      APT reports only a forth- and backwards running progress. (LP: #348053)
    - Support for python-apt 0.7.12 (LP: #415993)
    - Translated package descriptions
  * debian/patches:
    - Remove ignore_packages_in_conffile (Merged upstream)
    - Remove fix_typo (Merged upstream)
    - Add fix_unicode: Handle the encoding messages via stdin/stdout correctly
      (LP: #396513)
    - Add fix_unicode_debfile: Convert the path of the local file which
      should be installed to the correct encoding (LP: #347327)
  * debian/libpackagekit-qt-dev.install: Fix install location of CMake module.
    Thanks to Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik (LP: #345706)
  * debian/control: Fix spelling of Qt. Thanks to Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik
    (LP: #378419)
