Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I ran into an error with Compiz Fusion on my Acer Aspire 5516 laptop, and my installation of Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha would generate an error report with the message below:

package apport 1.17.1-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

While this is not a MAJOR system error, I still wanted to submit the bug report in case someone else with a similar laptop might run into the same thing.
