Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

aptdaemon-data version 0.43+bzr769-0ubuntu1 required, but 0.43+bzr778-0ubuntu1 is available
update-manager version 1:0.156.6 required, but 1:0.156.7 is available
apt version 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu4 required, but 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu5 is available
apt-utils version 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu4 required, but 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu5 is available

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!
