Title:
  Presenting "Unhandlable error" isn't useful to users or developers

Status in Aptdaemon:
  Confirmed
Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When aptdaemon has an exception, the aptdaemon client presents an
  "unhandlable error" <http://imgur.com/I97mZ> to the user, who probably
  can't do anything about it. Meanwhile, the error isn't reported to
  Ubuntu developers, who probably can do something about it.

  If an exception results in aptdaemon triggering Apport in Ubuntu 12.04
  and later, the "unhandlable error" alert should be retired altogether,
  as it is now redundant.

  If an exception doesn't result in aptdaemon triggering Apport, it
  should be converted to a RecoverableError that does.
