Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I have been running 11.04 x64 beta. I tried to run updates with the Update Manager, but got package failures. I then tried to install the aptitude package to try to update from the command line and got failures trying to install the apport and apport-gtk packages. I am running the Unity desktop.
