Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
update-manager sometimes reports a memory allocation error after the
installation of the latest updates. The error does not seem to be
reproducible and it happens irregularly. More often than not, update-
manager just works and it does not report any error.
I don't know the exact english error sentence, because my system has
italian as default language, however here is the italian error and my
english translation below.
"
Identificazione della distribuzione non riuscita
Si è verificato un errore «[Errno 12] Impossibile allocare memoria» durante il
controllo del sistema in uso.
"
"
Distribution identification failed
An error has occurred «[Errno 12] Unable to allocate memory» while checking the
current system.
"
Please note that I have this option set in APT:
APT::Cache-Limit 900000000;
and my notebook has 2GB of RAM.
