Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt-xapian-index

This happened on a very recently installed Natty i386 system, running apt-xapian-index 0.41ubuntu5. I don't know what triggered this bug. I had updated the system (which only involved updates to a few packages since I had installed from the daily live image), and was proceeding to install and configure VMware Tools (which I doubt is causally related to this problem).

I doubt they're relevant, but in case they are, I'll attach /var/log/dpkg.log as well as the Terminal log from the VMware Tools installation and configuration (up to the point when Apport informed me of this crash).

As is typical of crashes in apt-xapian-index, if Apport had not informed me of the crash, I would have no idea that any crash had occurred.
