Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

couldn't update
same error message as in the title
it also said something about a segmentation error (I think) though I'm not sure if it has to do with this error.

Can you still reproduce this crash? Can you please open a Terminal and do

sudo sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/apport.postinst configure 0.119.2

and copy&paste the output here? Thank you!
