This was most probably fixed in

jockey (0.9.4-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - oslib.py: Do not encourage to report package installation failure as
      SystemError, it will appear as a backend crash
  [...]
  * jockey/oslib.py, {install,remove}_package(): Capture apt's stdout/err into
    the log file, to get proper error messages when packages fail to install.
    (LP: #552300).

The newest duplicate (bug 829729) still has version 0.9.3.

This crash would happen if a package failed to install, which is usually
not a problem in jockey itself. However, to see what actually happened,
we need the jockey log from a version >= 0.9.4 (due to above fix of
actually logging the package installation failure).

So I am closing this, as jockey 0.9.4 now tells the user when a package
failed to install, instead of just crashing. The log file will tell what
really happened.

** Changed in: jockey (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
