Hello,

This bug is due to the apport hook in apport-hooks-medibuntu.
Here is a debdiff to fix this bug in Quantal because the apport hook has to be updated for python3 (see bug #1013171 )

[Gauvain Pocentek (gpocentek)]

Please give a try to the apport-hooks-medibuntu from the precise-staging repository. It should work with both python 2 and 3.

In sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, add this line:
deb http://pakcages.medibuntu.org/ precise-staging free

Applied the new apport-hooks-medibuntu 2 from the precise-staging repo, and it perfectly do the trick, thanks.
