apport-retrace fails with crash files with libraries not from the release pocket

[Brian Murray]

If one uses apport-retrace with a .crash file from a release other than the tracing system's release the retrace of the .crash file will fail with error messages similar to the following (provided the crashing system has packages installed from -updates or -proposed):

dynamically loaded /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.5.8 needs package libdbus-1-3, queueing
WARNING: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.3200.4 is needed, but cannot be mapped to a package
dynamically loaded /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2.7.8 needs package libxml2, queueing
dynamically loaded /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4 needs package libfontconfig1, queueing
WARNING: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0.3200.4 is needed, but cannot be mapped to a package

This is due to the fact that only the Contents.gz file from the release pocket is searched and the Contents.gz file from -proposed, -updates or -security are not. This issue appears on the retracers for the Ubuntu Error tracker with the following message:

The apport error is reproducable with a command like the following:

/usr/bin/apport-retrace -v -S ~/source-trees/daisy/daisy/retracer/config /tmp/precise-dfeet.crash -o /tmp/trunk-updated_crash_file.crash

This is a d-feet crash file from precise for testing with.

Fixed in trunk r2758. Thanks!
