My system, 64-bit Trusty, also got this bug when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. Alas, there are no log entries for this panic. Please, take a look at the attachments and initctl list output below: user-03-709@709-3:~$ initctl list indicator-application start/running, process 2626

@Rafal - yes, the problem has been fixed in Ubuntu. Are you sure you are specifying the --no-log option correctly (two leading dashes)? The problem that was fixed relates directly to logging and that option disables logging entirely. If you still have a problem, please do the following: 1)
