Bug Description
If dbgsym packages at ddebs.ubuntu.com are outdated at the time of retracing, apport-retrace tells the user they have outdated packages on their system and deletes the core dump, thus making the crash unretraceable (as of trunk revision 2519).
Instead of breaking the report and lying to the reporter, apport-retrace should leave the report intact and print an error to stderr.
