Here is the Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk", line 102, in new_dist_available
    self.build_ui()
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk", line 120, in build_ui
    from gi.repository import WebKit
ImportError: cannot import name WebKit

Looking at some of the instances on errors we can see that this only affects Lubuntu.

A default Lubuntu install on 13.04 has gir1.2-webkit-3.0 installed so this particular fix does nothing but is still good to get in.
