Same for me, but it was glade that gave the error.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Indeed this makes sense. During a package upgrade, the python packages are temporarily broken, so we must detect and ignore this situation.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

 apport (0.57) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * apport/ui.py: Intercept ENOMEM and fail gracefully; there is little else
     we can do at that point, and there is no point in presenting a crash
     report for this. (LP: #85155)
   * apport/ui.py: Ignore KeyError when deleting the CoreDump field on sending
     a reduced report. This Should Not Happen™, but nevertheless did.
     (LP: #86083)
   * gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt: Intercept ImportError for the non-builtin
     Python modules. This usually happens for crashes when there is a
     dist-upgrade active and some Python packages have not been configured yet.
     (LP: #86007)
   * apport/ui.py: If the problem report does not apply to a packaged program,
     and we have an ExecutablePath, mention it in the error message for easier
     debugging.
   * apport/python_hook.py: Resolve symbolic links in ExecutablePath.
     (LP: #85529)

Running synaptic package manager. Crashed when I hit the "close" button after updates were applied.
