Binary package hint: apport

While trying to debug a crash on telepathy-butterfly I have found that app-port is unable to create the .crash file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/transport.py", line 337, in __on_received
    logger.debug('<<< ' + unicode(cmd))
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/msnp/command.py", line 222, in __unicode__
    return unicode(CommandPrinter(self))
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/msnp/command.py", line 36, in __unicode__
    return printer()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/papyon/msnp/command.py", line 60, in _print_MSG
    result += payload

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/crash/_usr_lib_telepathy_telepathy-butterfly.1000.crash'

Original exception was:
