Bug description:
[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
