Apt-get Error Message

[timek718]

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

returns the following error message:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success '/usr/bin/test -S /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket && /usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PackageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged string:'cache-update' > /dev/null'
E: Sub-process returned an error code

I have applied all available updates as of 6pm EST, August 3, 2010. The error doesn't seem to prevent apt-get from applying updates.

Any idea what this means?

Re: Apt-get Error Message

you should really run dist-upgrade in order to pull in any new packages using apt-get, esp in a constantly-moving target like Ubuntu development versions

as for the error, I did see a much shorter version of it a short time ago

You need to run apt-get as sudo.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
