From the logs it looks like the system is somewhat unstable:

Preparing to replace apturl 0.3.2ubuntu2 (using .../apturl_0.3.3ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 245
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: ... it looks like that went OK.
Unpacking replacement apturl ...

Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/apport ...
Segmentation fault
dpkg: error processing apport (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139

Could you please try to run a memory test and a file system check to see if the hardware is ok?

I did it already before reporting this bug. All seems to be fine.

I'm not sure but maybe this bug is connected with my other reported bug:

This case can be closed.

This issue seems to be connected to my hardware somehow.
