Bug Description

This has been happening for about 3 days. I upgraded about 10 hours ago and again just now. This last time apport warned for:
* ia32-libs (what this bug was reported on)
* tasksel2.73ubuntu22

It only pops up on the configuration stage, so I'm guessing it's something like dpkg, except that dpkg --configure -a always seems to complete the job just fine.

Dpkg.log looks ok. The Packagekit log has 2 errors in it. Not sure if they're important or not.

TECH SPECS:
* Kubuntu Karmic with all repositories, no ppa's
* AMD64
* FGLRX
