Bug Description
I moved my computer. After connecting my computer to my network again, I found out that there were several apport processes running consuming all the cpu usage. I then wanted to use apt but it hung reading the package list. I then chrootet in my system and found out that apt-get segfaults. I solved that by removing /var/cache/
Apport should not consume the whole cpu when apt has got that problem. This may be caused by apt-index-watcher.

The apt-index-watcher crash should be fixed in any case.
