Comment 1 for bug 1677405

The documentation actually indicates that this should only be done on the system which experienced the crash:

       -R, --rebuild-package-info
              (Re-)generate Packages: and Dependenencies: fields before retracing. This is particularly useful if you want to retrace a .crash report before it was completed by running it through the UI data collection phase. However, this only works when you run this on the very same system where the crash happened.
