[Bug 799982] Re: aptd crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

[Steve Langasek]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: aptdaemon
+ Every time a package fails to install via update-manager, *two* apport
+ prompts are generated: one for the package failure, which results in a
+ useful bug report; and one for aptdaemon, which "crashes" when dpkg
+ returns an error.
  
- Reboot and crash.
+ The latter should definitely not result in triggering apport.
