[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1428297@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:16.04.9

---------------
update-manager (1:16.04.9) xenial; urgency=medium

  * UpdateManager/Core/UpdateList.py: Instead of trying to print an error
    when trying to find the desktop file log it. (LP: #1428297)
  * tests/test_update_origin.py: This does not need to be architecture
    specific so just set the arch to amd64 like test_update_list.py. Replace
    references to lucid with xenial as lucid is no longer on the archive.
  * tests/test_utils.py: mock /proc/net/tcp and processes in proc so that we
    are testing the code and not the system under test.
  * tests/test_cache.py: pass an empty list when getting a changelog for 3rd
    party packages.
  * tests/test_hwe_support_status.py: port to python3.
  * tests/test_meta_release_core.py: switch to a site that works with no proxy
    in the autopkgtest environment.
  * Resolve pep8 and pyflakes issues.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users are experiencing a crash when there is a failure to load the desktop file for a package while updating packages with update-manager.  This crash is handled with an exception but the action for the exception is to print a message (which causes an OSError Traceback) but it really should be logged. The crash is causing a lot of noise as people are receiving crash dialogs about it regularly.

  [Test Case]
  Its not clear to me which packages to update to recreate the crash however the bucket in the Error Tracker, https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/bin/update-manager%3AOSError%3A_get_application_for_package%3A/usr/bin/update-manager%40121%3Astart_update%3Astart_available%3Arefresh_cache%3Aupdate%3A_make_groups%3A_get_application_for_package, has a sufficient number of crashes that occur quite frequently that we should be able to prove that the new version is not affected.

  [Regression Potential]
  The print() is just changing to a logging.warning() a regression would be possible if I were to have mistyped the patch.
