Bug Report of Component: Software Manager

I encountered this bug today with an identical crash log.  Launch Software
Manager from the Add/Remove programs menu option, begins "Retrieving software
information", moves taskbar to about 20% or so and crashs.

I encountered this problem tonight also.

Yup.  Just got the same thing, absolutely identical error message.

I haven't loaded any new software with package manager or yum for...let me
think...at least three days or so.  The system auto-updated one process on Jan.
24th and a whole slew a few days before that.  Looks to me like one of the
standard updates broke something.

I'm not seeing any other system instability.  I'd add an attachment but my file
is line for line identical with Pascal.

I first saw this while I had Banshee up and thought that might be it, did a
standard shutdown/restart, logged in and tried add/remove software with nothing
else running.  No difference.

I just realized: the only possible way this could be my fault is, I loaded MSIE6
and 7 via ies4linux today.  See also:

It's a WINE install script.  Could this be connected to either this script or
WINE in general?  I have the latest WINE supported on the repositories, 9.29 I
think...

I got this this morning too. The main difference for me compared to Pascal's
attachement was that my first 4 frames were in /usr/sbin/pup. Otherwise the same.

While it shouldn't crash there may be a problem with the "digikam" package it's
trying to add to its list.

It should have something to do with the RedHat servers since this issue appeared
today with no apparent connection with a specific program being installed/updated.

I got this bug to width exactly the same text, It is a new clean installation
with alle the recommended pathees installed

Same crash, dump identical to the one submitted by Pascal.  Occurs every time
you select Add/Remove Software.

This is pretty much a plain vanilla Fedora 6 install on Dell Poweredge 2600,
dual Xeon processors, hardware RAID controller.

Downloaded FC6 ISOs, verified the checksums, burned CDs and installed a few days
ago.  Ran the full Internet update on everything a couple of days ago.  The only
non-vanilla aspect is a slightly modified VNC server, but get the same thing
logging in directly as root, and have not done any other software installs or
fiddled around.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 224292 ***

We're getting reports on Fedoraforums too...including by people who haven't
touched WINE, so that possibility is out.
