Public bug reported: `gnome-terminals` which are opened by `apport` to monitor the installation of necessary deb packages for local investigation, production of `gdb` backtraces, etc. are closed immediately after success, but after failure as well (e.g. if `apt-get` can't get its global lock, or another issue occurs). For debugging `apport` it'd be very useful to have a configuration option which allows the terminals opened by `apport` to stay opened after a failure.
Some details and workarounds have been discussed at (this askubuntu.com question)[http://askubuntu.com/questions/600875/how-to-keep-terminal- for-installation-of-debugging-symbols-of-apports-local-inv].
