Binary package hint: aptdaemon

I installed the latest updates (5 minutes ago) and then tried to install an app from a package. As expected, Ubuntu Sof Cent opened up and then I pressed install. But unfortunately a message poped up saying :

"An unhandlable error occured

There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 884, in simulate
    return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)
