Title:
  update-apt-xapian-index crashed with ValueError in index(): invalid
  null reference in method 'Document_add_value', argument 3 of type
  'std::string const &'

Status in “apt-xapian-index” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This comes up again - it seems to related to be related to a software
  update which may affect Gnome Shell. The last update contains gwibber
  and a replacement of indicator-me. When the update was done, hovering
  on activities in Gnome Shell would have thumbnails of other workspace
  showing in the current one, and the thumbnails are somehow distorted.
  One has to use Alt-F2 and key in r to restart Gnome Shell to return to
  normal. I am using the ricotz ppa for Gnome Shell.
