Bug Description
Binary package hint: install-package
When update fails, e.g. because of a malformed entry in sources.list, install-package crashes. When run from software-properties this results in the error being swallowed. Instead, an error message box should be shown so that the user can become aware of the error at its source.

This bug was fixed in the package install-package - 0.5
---------------
install-package (0.5) lucid; urgency=low
* Catch SystemErrors in the markInstall function, rather than letting them
crash install-package (LP: #435675)
* Catch instances where another process takes the packaging lock after we
did our initial check (LP: #441042)
* Catch exceptions caused by malformed sources.list files and show the user
instead of crashing (LP: #496305)
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4
* Add dependency on ${misc:Depends} to satisfy a lintian error
