It looks like its duplicating some bugs that have similar but different tracebacks, so we need to carefully look at the tracebacks of the dupes to see if they are all the same or just similar, e.g. the last dupe has:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.debian.apt timed out

Haven't had this lately, so why is it still active?

Because people like me still have it under quantal. (I get this every time I open the software centre, so I have to use the terminal to get new software.)

As a better work around than that, try the Synaptic package manager.
