The traceback actually looks like it is aptdaemon.

message:
  Drop obsolete gobject compatibility and gtkwidgets

  The static pygobject bindings and the GTK 2 widgets have long been obsolete and
  unmaintained, and there are no reverse dependencies to them any more in Ubuntu.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

This certainly seems fixed in Vivid although the error buckets is strange as it shows people reporting this crash from recent releases with a Trusty version of aptdaemon.
