Title:
  distro upgrade fails, errors with chromium, chromium has been
  malfunctioning for a week and unable to report bug.

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I began experiencing trouble with google password change related
  efforts about a week ago and chromium would "stop unexpectedly" each
  time I tried to "login to chromium" (i.e. because the "login
  information is outdated" following a password change/reset initiated
  by myself via a browser window at google.  I was able to submit a few
  automated error reports but after a few of these, chromium would
  simply shut down each time after I tried to "login to chromium" and no
  further prompts/error messages were provided.

  Today, I was attempting to upgrade to Kubuntu 13.10 when I received a
  number of error messages during the process.  Most of those messages
  seemed to be generated when the upgrade process was attemtping to
  install/replace/upgrade chromium and  also when I attempted to submit
  an automated bug report; I was informed that "[chromium] may not be
  functional" and that "chromium cannot be run as root".  There may have
  been one or two more messages about "apport" not functioning as well.

  After approximately 65% of the upgrade process had completed, I
  received a message that the upgrade had failed and would I please
  navigate to this web page and submit an error report.

  All my google services seem to be funtionning properly and aside from
  a minor issue with Kmail, everything else seems to me as if it;s
  working just fine.

  The final error message which prompted me to submit this report also
  indicated I should attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade but the
  web page I'm presently at does not seem to support multiple file
  attachments so I am uncertain what to do at this time.

  I will attach the 'history' log file as this seems to most
  logical/reasonable one to me at this time.

  If you require any additional information from me, please feel free to
  contact me via email at alain.paquette11 at gmail.com.

  Respectfully;

  Alain paquette.
