Same as this bug save for the fact that instead of the package:
package python-pyatspi 1.28.0-0ubuntu1
it is in the package:
package python-pyatspi 1.29.5-0ubuntu2

1st time user of Ubuntu trying out upgrade a bridge too far.

Thank you for reporting this issue. The original bug was caused by missing python-pyatspi package, which most likely has been fixed. To help us determine that is has been fixed, and to try to find what caused the crash for the other reporters, we will some more information:

1. Was this during an upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu or during normal updates?
2. If this was during normal updating, we will need the /var/log/dpkg.log

Thanks in advance.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
