Title:
  apport-gtk throws permission denied

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In the middle while doing a do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu 13.10 to
  14.04 I had a crash. After restarting, I had a look in the log file
  and saw at the bottom, it has something to do with permissions:

  I ran the do-release-upgrade process with sudo, so there shouldn't be
  any permission issues. Weird.

  Can you give me some hints?

  Thanks!
