Confirmed as there are two duplicates, it's clearly able to be reproduced, if only on amd64. The bug is unusual in that the exception relates to a situation where you are trying to rename across a filesystem boundary. This may be a result of /var folder being mounted in a different partition to /usr.
In any event, I will attach a fix shortly which should prevent this from occurring. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Aaron Peachey (aaronp) ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/699898 Title: update-software-center crashed with OSError in rebuild_database(): [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
