package apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: apport

This one was entirely my fault. It was updating in the background, when I alt-tabed to the window that was updating the gui hung so I went to a virtual terminal because it was unaffected. In the terminal I would check to see if the update was finished by trying to install another arbitrary program and seeing if it give an error because the updater was still busy. After waiting for an hour and a half I decided that it was frozen and had crashed (it was still updating and the gui hadn't come back) so I gave the reboot command. Afterwards all package lists became unreadable, so I removed them and redownloaded them with "apt-get update".

I wrongly marked this as a duplicate of bug 768429. But it should be a duplicate of bug 767498 as DpkgTerminalLog suggests. Sorry for the mess up.
