I'm wondering if this is a Python issue. Under 13.04 I needed Python 3 and uninstalled Python 2 only to find that Dropbox would no longer work. So I reinstalled Python 2 and played with the symbolic links so that both 2 and 3 would work. While it looks like both Python 2 and 3 are working as they should following the upgrade, I enabled apport and a "Sorry, Ubuntu 13.10 has experienced an internal error" pop-up displayed. Looking into the details, a HookError_medibuntu message showed a Python syntax error in medibuntu.py, which turned out to be a Python2 vs. Python3 error. Apport, or whatever it is that generated the HookError_medibuntu error is using Python 3 instead of Python 2.
Here's the code that generates the syntax error. The except clause is written for Python 2: def add_info(report): try: if report['Package'].split()[1].find('medibuntu') != -1: report['CrashDB'] = 'medibuntu' except ValueError, e: return I was suspecting maybe the changes under 13.04 that I made in the links for Python were the source of the problem. But, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 in VirtualBox and the links looked to be consistent with the upgrade installation.
