(Ok, I'm back. It hasn't happened to me again, but I kept thinking about this bug.)
The point in the traceback, that brings everyone to this bug report, is in aptdaemon/errors.py. aptdaemon isn't attached to this bug report; I'm guessing it should be. I'm marking it confirmed 'cause of these recent reports...and because LP is allowing me to. Perhaps different kinds of crashes are happening here, but the traceback to the error-reporting function is sorting them all to the same place. Just a speculation, because the traceback and the function look fairly generic. So the important part is "Could not cancel transaction"? Bug 855394 was about that. Brian says to open a new bug, if it recurs. Whether it's quite the same bug, certainly people are trying to open new bugs here, and launchpad is not letting them. I don't know this code at all, but I'll keep thinking when I have time.
