update-manager crashed with DBusException in _run(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I initiated the usual distribution upgrade, and the update-manager popped-up the Password dialog after which the Apport Crash dialog showed up.
