It seems like a bad package (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-ugly0.10/+bug/751690) causes this error.

I get a message that apt crashed.
I think the bug report process is bugged so what we see here is not the real bug: It crashed when it tries to report a crash...

Yes, it crashed when reporting a crash. But I think that crash is caused by the previous crash. By me dpkg failed to install the gstreamer update, and, I think, that caused the crash in aptd. So, yes, there crashes something while the first crash is being reported.

This is related to Bug 751911.

While that might be the cause for this crash, this is probably still a bug of it's own. It doesn't seem that conflicting packages should be able to crash aptd.

Has anyone here had this issue resulting from something other than gstreamer-plugins?

How would I check?

In my case the crash was preceded by this:

using a persistant USB i was using the update manager to update the new
install with firefox open in the foreground,
 sorry i was not paying much attention and it might have been a cascaded bug
from a net connection bug that kept popping up

I was running update manager and got this bug. It is reported in duplicated thread here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/753466

Crashed during running update manager. Whilst booted in to the default Unity interface.

This crash occurred again today when branding-update failed to update to 0.6. It interrupted the udev update, making it divert, preventing update-initramfs to run and causing the system to become unbootable. Finishing dpkg --configure -a using chroot solved that.

Udev issue reported in bug #753853

Maybe I have same problem. And it's with update branding-ubuntu:

Rozbaluji náhradu branding-ubuntu …
dpkg: chyba při zpracovávání /var/cache/apt/archives/branding-ubuntu_0.6_all.deb (--unpack):
 zkouším přepsat soubor „/usr/share/gnome-games/quadrapassel/pixmaps/quadrapassel.svg“, který je také v balíku quadrapassel 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu3
Při zpracování nastaly chyby:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/branding-ubuntu_0.6_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

ran an update just now, asked me to reboot. after logging in again, got this report about Aptd. doesn't seem to be fixed sadly?

Experiencing this issue as well. Crashes during regular update-manager process. Related info:

had the bug yesterday, updated just now, bug still appeared :( ar you sure it's patched, or is the patch yet to roll out?

@Sense Hofstede, Yougo, Pavel Studeník, Patrick Toy

Stop posting irrelevant information and making things more complicated!
All these things have nothing to do with this bug!

how would we know? how would you know?

all we do is try to update, get an error, and report the bug, like the helpful ubuntu enthousiasts we are.
The bug description matches this bug's word for word. Launchpad itself directed me to this particular bug. who am i not to follow?

i'd appreciate if I weren't told to stop reporting bugs, on launchpad.

i see this bug is supposed to be fixed, however, i'm still getting the error.
if there is any additional log or info i can submit, please specify

Yeah, sorry, I was wrong. I had the update errors with gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and branding-ubuntu, but not the apt crash, and I never experienced apt crashing because one package conflicted with another package, so I jumped to conclusions.

@ Yougo : what's the output of "apt-cache show aptdaemon|grep Version" ?

it's ok :-)

i have aptdaemon version 0.41+bzr614-0ubuntu2 installed

Same version here.

"apt-cache show aptdaemon|grep Version
Version: 0.41+bzr614-0ubuntu2"

as a result of bug 752220 (and maybe others) the package is about to be upgraded to version 0.41+bzr614-0ubuntu3
let's wait and see what this version does?

OK for me.
