I get a slightly different error but in any case kio-audiocd cannot be installed

Unpacking kio-audiocd (from .../kio-audiocd_4%3a4.10.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

The ubuntu apport hook crashed because of the following:

  File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py", line 106, in add_info
    (package, version) = report['Package'].split(None, 2)
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

report['Package'] would return kio-audicd (not installed). I guess this needs to be taken into account.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.10.2-0ubuntu2

---------------
apport (2.10.2-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py:
    - Resolve crash in duplicate signature calculation when the package is not
      installed (LP: #1184121)
    - Remove unusable check for previous package install failures
    - Fix indentation of package-conflict check

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Raise python-apport's "Suggests: python launchpadlib" to Depends:, as the
    only reason why to install this package is for apport-collect these days.
    (LP: #1192330)
  * Merge from trunk:
    - hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Fix check for inaccessible or modified
      conffiles. (LP: #1192899)
    - Updated translations from LP.
  * etc/apport/crashdb.conf: Enable crash reports on Launchpad for saucy.

Both were transitional errors as 13.10 was synced with Debian. They should be resolved already.
