[reprepro] This is not a genuine Ubuntu package

[Ballock]

Binary package hint: apport

We have setup reprepro to mirror the Ubuntu Lucid repository (lucid, lucid-updates and lucid-security).
This is mainly because we are adding minor changes to packages, i.e. ca-certificates to include our company certs.
However, kernel, applications and all the other stuff is left from Ubuntu Lucid.
Obviously, reprepro signs the repository with a different gpg key than the one used for Lucid.

Lastly however, I tried to report a bug in the audio support of Dell E6410 docking station with and ran into a bug in apport. There is an error message "Problem in alsa-base": "The problem cannot be reported" "This is not a genuine Ubuntu package".

Obviously this is not true. The kernel, alsa-base package, pulseaudio, all kernel modules come from Lucid. I changed the sources.list to the one that originally came with Lucid, apt-get update (no 'apt-get upgrade') and reported the problem fine.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this bug.

This bug is a duplicate of #497796, comment 10 in that bug points to this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/497796/comments/10).

If you haven't run apt-get update (ie no package cache) or use a mirror, apport detection of non-official packages does not work.

Marking this one as a duplicate.

Thanks,

Tom
