I apologize, I double checked my log, and it did not install and configure correctly the 2nd time I tried with /etc/default/apport enable set to 1.

Here is a copy of my log file: dpkg.log : 2011-04-20 23:02:51 startup archives unpack 2011-04-20 23:03:02 upgrade python-problem-report 1.20.1-0ubuntu4 1.20.1-0ubuntu5 2011-04-20 23:03:02 status
