Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

2) apt-cache policy skype
skype:
  Installed: 4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.12.04.2
  Candidate: 4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.12.04.2

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9

3) What is expected to happen is when Skype crashes, generating a crash in /var/crash, one may file a bug report against it.

4) What happens instead is a window pops up noting:
Problem in skype-bin
The problem cannot be reported:
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again.

However, the Skype package I have installed is directly from the Partner repository as per above. How could it not be any more official then this?

Sorry, but the Canonical Partner repository is indeed not part of Ubuntu. Just like PPAs and other third-party repositories these are packages which you can install on Ubuntu, but we cannot track problems in Skype on Launchpad.
