This is now happening every time. I get this message in stdout:

Couldn't find the package: "wine1.6-i386" 

I just added Wine's PPA for Ubuntu ("sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa"), so I'm guessing that's related.

Does it always happen? If so, can I get the valgrind execution output maybe?

Dear Aleix,

thanks for your reply!
Some days ago I removed a HP printer/scanner package from my computer.
Since that day Muon didn't crash anymore.

Dear Harald,

some days ago I removed a HP printer/scanner package from my computer.
Since then Muon didn't crash anymore. I'll keep an eye on it and give
more information when it should happen again.

Many thanks and regards

We are having a hard time getting to the bottom of this and really need some more information on this. 

Can anyone still reproduce this reliably?
If so, please run `kdebugdialog`, active everything and after that run muon-updater from a terminal:
muon-updater --noforok &> log; xz -9 log && echo "log.xz"

Then wait for the crash, so the crash handler dialog comes up. DO NOT CLOSE THE CRASH DIALOG. Your terminal should return and print "log.xz", this file is now in the terminal's current directory. Please attach the file to this report.

Additionally, please run the following in a terminal *while* the crash handler dialog is active:
gcore `pidof muon-updater` && xz -9 core.`pidof muon-updater` && echo  core.`pidof muon-updater`.xz

This will take quite a while since it's compressing the entire memory  of the application. Once it is done the last line will be the name of the compressed file, something like "core.31686.xz", that was created in the terminal's current directory. Please attach the file to this report (should be somewhere around 20MiB).

With the additional information we should be able to track the cause for this down (one can hope anyway :))

Git commit 2992e8b979eede6048929e43d869d91ccfb43742 by Aleix Pol.

Make sure we don't provide null packages

Sometimes, apparently, some packages aren't listed when all Application
instances are created. This would become a crash in some special
situations, especially the cases where the architecture of the package
is specified as a suffix to the package name (e.g. primus-libs-ia32).

This patch fixes that crash by not reporting these, but then we still
have the problem that these won't be listed as updates.

Hi everyone. So we found out what causes the crash and introduced measures to prevent it in the short term. To get this resolved properly we'll have to find out why exactly some packages cannot be resolved, which is a bit tricky.

Still unable to reproduce unfortunately, going to do one last try before we'll have to look into somewhat more extreme measure....

The following commands will basically collect every bit of low level information about your available and installed packages, (hopefully) allowing me to replicate your exact package situation. Or at least manually track why exactly your muons cannot find the package primus-libs-ia32. Should this also fail I'll have to ask you to do manual debugging of the muon-updater itself, which is always a gigantic pain, so I'd rather avoid that ^^

Please attach the tar.xz created by:

Thanks guys, I found the issue. 

To work around the issue you can use the following command or wait for Muon 2.1.3, which will be available in about 7 days:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Analysis
=======
upgrades from nvidia-331.20 on xorgedgers will pull in bumblebee, bumblebee depends on primus depends on libprimus-libs-ia32:i386. However muon-updater cannot resolve libpriums-libs-ia32 because of the architecture difference.

In particular QApt::Package::isMultiArchDuplicate() apparently yields the wrong value. This is supposedly because it uses 
> d->packageIter.Group().FindPkg() 
rather than
> d->packageIter.Group().FindPreferredPkg()
which would yield the correct result. The function comments that it attempts to check whether /this/ is the best possible version of a multiarch package, which appears to not be what FindPkg is doing, rather it is checking whether it is the host architectures' duplicate package (i.e. in order to have the function return false the package needs to be :amd64 when running amd64...). However primus-libs-ia32 has no actual native version, there only is the i386 version, so isMultiArchDuplicate leads to it being discarded even tough it is the preferred package, or rather it is the only possible package.

Recommendation solution
a) use FindPreferredPkg inside isMultiArchDuplicate
b) kDebug() when a package is being discarded be it because of duplicatedness or other factors, to improve debugability of similar issues
c) evaluate whether discarding packages based on duplicatedness is even an acceptable thing to do in the update/upgrade use case

Also there's other weirdness with the updater exposed by this particular package lineup, needs separate investigation and doesn't seem related to the bug at hand though.

Beware dist-upgrade.  It broke my system due to an Nvidia/Bumblebee issue.
The solution for me was
sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee
after dist-upgrade.

More details here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/399153/after-apt-get-upgrade-system-always-boot-to-low-graphics-mode

Now I'll wait and see what it does for Muon.
Thanks for all your time on this Harald!

BTW, I came out of it better off.  Fixed a distortion issue I was having with my graphics driveres.  :-D

This appears to have fixed it.  Muon updater ran successfully today.
Thanks again, Harald!

I did apt-get dist-upgrade. It didn't finish due to some broken nvidia-opencl packages. I solved the issue by removing all OpenCL-related packages and doing dist-upgrade again. And then, muon-updater got back to work. Thank you all :)

I noticed I hadn't been getting the notification popup for updates lately, and opened Update Manager from the K Menu.
The application crashed shortly after opening the window and never listed available updates.
I was also surfing with Firefox and downloading files using KTorrent at the time, and was on a VPN.
