I received this crash when apport was trying to add gdb info to a crash from kodi. The crash file had an ExecutablePath of /sur/lib/kodi/kodi.bin and that file somehow doesn't exist on my system.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

It looks like the correct path is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/kodi.bin.
