Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
When having aptitude open in a terminal (sudo aptitude) and trying to
remove a package in Ubuntu Software Center, it first fails with a empty
error message, followed by a message that the program aptd closed
unexpectedly. I'm guessing the the Software center isn't checking
whether the database is locked by a different package manager or doesn't
handle this case correctly.
Sometimes this message appears along with it: An unhandles error occured.
Details: Traceback (most recent call last):
