Can you add the output of
apt-cache policy gedit
to the bug please?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hello Philip

njin@natty19:~$ apt-cache policy gedit
gedit:
  Installed: 2.30.4-1ubuntu3
  Candidate: 2.30.4-1ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 2.30.4-1ubuntu3 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

njin@natty19:~$ apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 1.16-0ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1.16-0ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1.16-0ubuntu5 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It still present in 20101219.
Thanks

Right, apport needs a working apt-cache for the genuine detection. Since the packages are only shown as locally installed apport doesn't recognise them as genuine ubuntu packages.
sudo apt-get update
should resolve this.
From the iso tag I guess that's on the live disk where I'm not sure if that has an apt cache by default or not. Did this work before?

Hello Philip
I'm doing installation tests, and as you have already understand ,I don't have updated apt-cache, then running apt-get update fix this issue.
Thanks
Fabio
