Andreas, I know that it doesn't matter, that's actually the point, if it allows the upgrade when I just close all warnings why should it tell me the system can not be upgraded in the first place?
Yes, because aptd crashes, but what's the sense of it, if canceling the warnings allows to upgrade afterwards - which again is what the user wanted in the first place.

It's like a loop, attempt to upgrade, message 'you can't', cancel message, upgrade.
It also happens randomly, I've upgraded before after reboot, no warnings, suspend and resume, upgrade again results in warning. Everytime launching update-manager via dash.

At the moment there're three aptd crash files in /var/crash, but they're of no use if the report needs to be cancelled in order to upgrade or on attempt to submit tells the user it can be submitted, the user needs to upgrade first - but that is exactly what the user was about to attempt in the first place.
Spaming /var/crash doesn't make sense in this case.

btw. this didn't happen during Oneiric cycle, so something changed to
invoke too early.

Title:
  apport invokes too early

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Happens daily on first upgrade attempt with update-manager.
  Doesn't happen on further attempts.
  Open update-manager via dash. Reload package cache.
  Result: 'There is a system application having problems, do you want to report it'. - Yes
  Apport collects it's data, then says 'the problem can't be reported you have outdated packages, you need to update <package> this and that.' (screenshot)

  @Apport, I know, that's the reason why update-manager was opened in the first place.
  The upgrade can be proceeded as usual.

  Expected:
  Let update-manager do it's job first before complaining about missing packages.
