[IKT (ikt)]

Guys and gals, we need more information that what you are presenting.

1. When does the error come up?
2. Can you repeat it?
3. What steps do you need to do to cause the issue? eg:

1. open terminal
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
3. then we get this error:

error msg.

If we can't duplicate the issue it makes it impossible to fix.

thanks

Going to mark as a dupe of bug 665218 since I feel they are exactly the same issue.

Feel free to reopen if you don't believe so.
