1. If aptdaemon dies because of SEGV we want to know it. So it is ok to get the apport report for aptdaemon.
2. It is not ok that s-c crashses too. It should show the "task cannot be monitoried ..." error dialog. I will have a look at it. SIGKILL could also do the job to kill aptdaemon. 3. You only get the "task cannot be monitoried ..." message if we don't have a clue: Aptdaemon just vanished (on the Dbus). Normally you should get the aptdaemon apport report. But the apport dialog only talks about a system service and not about e.g. a failed application installation. AFAIK it is possible to modify the apport message: e.g. "Update installtion failed". But you cannot rely only on the apport notification to notify the user that he or her action failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441686 Title: "Task cannot be monitored or controlled" alert is unhelpful and scary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/441686/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
