aptdaemon?

"Aptdaemon allows normal users to perform package management tasks, e.g.
refreshing the cache, upgrading the system, installing or removing
software packages."

WTF? I thought the idea was to prevent the "normal users" from doing
that stuff, keeping it to the sudoers who presumably know what they're
doing.

Have I woken up speaking space-alien this morning, or is this something
that should not even ever be installed, much less upgraded?

Well you might say about aptdaemon - WTF. It is crashing all the time
on Ubuntu 12.04. When you report it to Launchpad it says it's a known
bug and will be fixed - real soon now
