Bug Description
Just testing Ubuntu GNOME Utopic -> Vivid release upgrades and towards the end of the upgrade a failure warning is displayed:
Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
The terminal displays this:

Hi Brian,
I got busy and forgot to add a comment about follow up testing. About 20 hours after this initial test on i386 I performed a second test on the same hardware but with an amd64 OS and I got no such failure warning. So I just happened to think, is it possible that this could be arch specific?
This just happened to me on the amd64 architecture.
One package failed to upgrade (the package whoopsie).
This is the current python trace:

I performed an Ubuntu GNOME amd64 Utopic -> Vivid upgrade test last night (20150222) and it worked flawlessly - no error warning at all. No doubt it was entirely different hardware (first UEFI capable mobo):

Having said that this is the only incident of this crash I can find. I checked other u-r-u bugs and the Error Tracker.

I just performed both i386 and amd64 Utopic -> Vivid release upgrades for Ubuntu GNOME Vivid Beta 1 testing without any problem whatsoever. Could this have been a fluke? Maybe something transitional when we were preparing for Alpha 2?
I think it would be safe to consider it fixed since I've not been able to reproduce it.

In Vte 2.90 it was called fork_command_full and took one less argument than spawn_sync. :-(
