similar here, crashed while reporting another bug. apport-gtk came up while doing an upgrade to gutsy. I just can't figure out if the system info, bug relevant files, etc. have been submittet or how I could do that (other than do it completely manually). So please ask if you need anything (and what).

Cheers.

I had an original crash with the compiz-header, but the reporting bit crashed straight after.

The same crash for me.
I was doing the upgrade to gutsy.

Yupp, I also just updated. Also XGL is taking up tons of cup and memory

the same for me

Same here on a friend's machine.

[Jan (jan-rubbrecht)]

same here
there were a lot of packages that could not be upgraded (mostly related to mysql, phpmyadmin, phpbb2, ... ), then I started to get the crashes of the installer.
I have to say I had firefox running at the time of the upgrade, while it was advised to close all programs not prevent dataloss (I didn't mind if it was forced-closed).
The installer said it would roll back the upgrade because I could have an unworkable environment, but whilst doing that, the installer program crashed. I guess I have a half updated system now. I see some differences (first was the "[sudo] password for user:" that I noticed), which is still there.
I guess I'll just download the cd and upgrade that way and I hope I won't loose too much info.

I would like to attach my logs:
(e.g.
    * ApportLog.txt (830 bytes, text/plain; charset="utf-8")
    * CrashReports.txt (1.1 KiB, text/plain; charset="utf-8")
    * ProcMaps.txt (23.1 KiB, text/plain; charset="utf-8")
    * ProcStatus.txt (626 bytes, text/plain; charset="utf-8")
    * Traceback.txt (1.2 KiB, text/plain; charset="utf-8")
)
but after an updatedb, I couldn't locate these files.
