[Bug 1134948] Re: synaptic's python2.7 errors : crash in meth()

[tlc]

I see this same traceback in my 12.04 cron results when update-apt-xapian-index is run.
Also, it's been reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/655831

/etc/cron.daily/apt:
Traceback (most recent call last):

  here is what is logged into .xsession-errors when synaptic is used for
  checking possible updates, then doing the upgrades.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 97, in <module>
      indexer.slave()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/axi/indexer.py", line 454, in slave
      childProgress = ClientProgress(self.progress)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/axi/indexer.py", line 211, in __init__
      self.sock.connect(axi.XAPIANDBUPDATESOCK)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
      return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
  socket.error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

  That issue also make a crash: when apport check it, it detect an old
  (unknown) lp:965127 report, so it cant be uploaded.
