You have been subscribed to a public bug: [Impact] The launch-time key is only designed to hold a 32 bit integer and some day that won't work. Additionally, a lot of people (based off the quantity of crash reports) seem to have their clocks misconfigured (or are living in the future!) which is causing a crash when update-manager tries to write the last launch time.
[Test Case] 1) In a terminal run 'faketime -f '+43y' /usr/bin/update-manager'. 2) Observe a traceback With the version of update-manager from -proposed you will no longer receive a traceback. The update-notifier change just supports reading the 64 bit integer key and there are no crashes yet because its not trying to read a 64 bit as 32 bits. [Regression Potential] Its possible the breaks and depends are incorrect and that people would receive a crash trying to read a 64 bit key as 32 bits. So double check those carefully. The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding update-manager. This problem was most recently seen with package version 1:16.10.8, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/6d5b9fd57622f69dc32248c49512ee8fe29b24b3 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
