Bug Description
apport 2.0-0ubuntu4, aptdaemon 0.43+bzr790-
1. Experience a crash in aptdaemon.
What happens: "The application Aptdaemon Software Management Service has closed unexpectedly. ( Show Details ) ( Leave Closed ) ( Relaunch)"
What's wrong with this:
* Aptdaemon is not an application, and people shouldn't have to know it by name.
* "Relaunch" is offered as a possible action, when this doesn't make sense.
What should happen: "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error. ( Show Details ) ( Continue )"
This might be caused by aptdaemon having a .desktop file when it shouldn't. If it isn't, it may be a duplicate of bug 964696.

To post a comment you must log in.
Aptdaemon manually creates crash reports to report programming failures without having to crash the whole daemon.
If I remember correctly apport used to show the path to the exectuable which crashed, which was /usr/sbin/aptd. Because of this I added the desktop file to show a better name.
I will remove the desktop file from the crash report.
