Now I had a bit time to observe this bug deeper. Mentioned error is because
apport isn't running. Well, no problem so far as I tried to start apport. But
nothing - no message, no apport. Had a look into init script file - ok: there's
a file under default which is originally set to disable apport (first matter!
think of common users!). Right - I enabled to start apport, but got only the
following error during start-up process:
* Starting automatic crash report generation: apport
/etc/init.d/apport: 24: runlevel: not found
exit: 24: Illegal number: Starting
What is that illegal number about to do?? What does it tell me? Where is
it coming from?
Ok - if nothing helps one step usually always helps out: remove with apt-get
and purge everything, than reinstall. But surprise:

Damn - I was so close. Ok, dpkg wants me to reinstall and so I tried
with no better result:

There's no way in and no way out and I don't have a clue about this "runlevel:
not found" stuff. I'm far from a newbix, but that's totally new to me.
So what to do here?
