[Bug 1242814] [NEW] 13.04 to 13.10 dist upgrade fails with do-dist-upgrade crash

Public bug reported:

Very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/+bug/461744

Apport started up when do-dist-upgrade crashed but it failed silently
after and so I unfortunately do not have the stack trace or the apport
files. But it was a Python stack trace (NoneType object reference
related to window_main). Remounting /tmp with 'exec' flag fixed the
problem as in the original bug linked above.
