Thanks for your bug report. The issue is due to scrollkeeper-update. Could you try to get a valgrind log for the crash (you can follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind)?

I've just reattempted an update and it succeeded installing the scrollkeeper-update this time. Its now failing on gimp_2.4.0~rc3-1ubuntu5_i386 (I've got a crash report I can send in if required). I was asked to run 'sudo apt-get install -f' which I did. This produced the following:

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I think this may be separate bug now, its that or my upgrade from 7.04 has gone wrong. Do you want me to file this as a separate bug or do you want further information?
