[Bug 2023155] [NEW] update-notifier crashed with signal 5

[Chris Guiver]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

I have no useful details to provide sorry.

This is a QA test install only.. with packages & VERY MINOR change(s)
having taken place on it ...

(on subsequent boot; these messages are now appearing & requesting me to
file..  I'm in the middle of another QA-test install in another
partition on this system & was only booting this system to ensure the
newly installed xubuntu.mantic didn't impact here).
