packagekitd traps - application crashes - no automatic reporting possible

[HugoHirsch]

After upgrading to 14.04 I do regularly see crashes of packagekitd via dmesg:

There's a popup that wants to report the bug under KDE, but the bug does not seem to be reported since shortly after confirming to report a bug a new popup tells me that there's lack of space for a bug report (which isn't as a df --si shows).

Since I'm not sure whether this bug is triggered or is a packagekitd bug and didn't find any meaningful web search results I hope that someone else experiences these problems.

The problem remains unchanged:

dmesg | grep trap

Is there any information I can provide to nail this down more precisely?
