Ubuntu
apt package

aptd crashes each time when I try to remove/update rstudio (R IDE)

Asked by Miroslav Jezek

An unhandlable error occured
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 961, in simulate
    trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/core.py", line 510, in _set_space
    self._space = dbus.Int32(size)
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

Sounds like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-clone/+bug/795853

Use the "synaptic" program instead. It is a much more developed and stable apt graphical interface

Thanks, it helps. Synaptic is working correctly in this situation. I guess it doesn't solve the problem of Ubuntu Software Center but the more less same problem is mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-clone/+bug/795853 as you said.
So I'm marking my post as solved. Thanks again.M.
