See bug #793318 for a similar horror story. The issue is not only preventing the system to crash but hiding from the user all the information that Synaptic Packet Manager shows. One of the reasons I abandoned Windows is that setup.exe is (was?) a black box most often without warning of what it's going to do, like replacing a component of the system with a more recent one but in the wrong language. With the removal of Synaptic Packet Manager and exclusivity of blind USC, Ubuntu has become like Windows. I suggest making USC controls as wonderful as SPM on demand. Fortunately, the oder system killing bug affected only one person and was low priority but this one affects two and is of high priority ;-)
