Ok so i got another identical crash report just now, this time preceded with a error saying nautilus had to be closed due to an unexpended error. But nautilus never closed, at least the one instance i had open. Weird!

Again THIS error was not from a manually run update. Thanks!

unattended-upgrades (0.50ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * fix crash in ouput, thanks to Joerg Schuetter, closes: #535347
  * when running in --debug mode, also print debug output to stderr
  * add --dry-run option to simulate a run, but not actually install
    something
  * when running with --debug, install packages instead of just
    simulating the install, --dry-run is avaialble for simulation
  * check for packages on hold and do not upgrade them (closes: #511677)
  * deal better with failures in pkgname_from_deb() (LP: #305046)
  * improved the README some more (LP: #311052)
