I got a crash warning when running the automatic Kubuntu release upgrade. However, the install seems to be continuing without difficulty.

[Jacob M. Carson]

1) Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04
2) The upgrade started automatically, so I don't know what package it came from
3) I expected a bunch of software downloads/installations, followed by restarting the computer
4) I got a warning that the installation failed, a request to submit a bug warning, and then a bunch of software downloads/installations. I expect I'll have to restart the computer when it's over.
