Description Ivan Masár 2009-07-07 03:55:05 UTC
After I press "Show updates" in the viewer I get Update viewer with 1 blocked update (it's 1 held package saying "mail-notification-5.4.dfsg.1-1build1 (None)") and a modal dialog "An internal error has occurred" with following details.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi there,
This bug report is very old and based on a version not supported anymore. By upgrading to a newer version of PackageKit you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of PackageKit.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with the latest version.
