Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Failure to complete installation.

  [Test Case]

   * At times, apt cache can run out of file descriptors as seen in this bug and its duplicates.
   * There is no clear-cut way to reproduce it in ubiquity, but there is a significant amount of crash reports submit, which dropped off after the proposed fix has been applied.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The proposed fix has been well tested in trusty both automated &
  manual testing and does not regress on any configuration.

  [Other Info]

  This error occurs each time I try to install a .deb file with Gdebi in
  Ubuntu 12.10, after the deb installation finishes.
