While choosing things to install I got another crash message wanting to send an extensive report to developers.

[miked (miked11)]

There seems to be something wrong in the update of this program apport, a lot of crashes have been reported after this one all pointing to apport & python 2.5. I first reported this bug right after I updated it.

 apport (0.42) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   New feature: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApportImprovements (kernel interface
   change):
 .
   * bin/apport: Support calling without arguments, to support new semantics
     agreed in the ApportImprovements spec: macro values (in particular, pid
     and signal number) are passed as environment variables.
   * preloadlib/libapport.c: Simulate new kernel behaviour described above.
   * debian/apport.init: Set the kernel's core_pattern sysctl to pipe to apport
     if the edgy-style 'crashdump-helper' sysctl helper does not exist.
 .
   Bug fixes:
 .
   * bin/apport-retrace: Beautify error message when report file is not
     accessible. Closes: LP#79568
   * apport/ui.py: Fix crash in the bug pattern search thread if we could
     not determine a package name. Closes: LP#77872
   * bin/apport: Only unlink the core dump if it still exists. Closes: LP#80866
   * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Fix expand/fill attributes so that the expander gets
     all the space when resizing the window. Closes: LP#80987
   * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Make sure that multi-line values that go
     to the summary are terminated with a newline.
   * apport/ui.py: Fix error message invocation for reporting cloakroom upload
     failure.
   * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Fix off-by-one comparison of the 'inline
     text' treshold, so that apport's StacktraceTop field appears in bug
     summaries. Also fix a corner case in CR line ending handling. Check both
     things in the test suite.
   * gtk/apport-gtk: Add missing 'import subprocess.'. Closes: LP#81007
   * debian/control: Bump apport's and apport-gtk's dependency to python-apport
     to make sure that apport.ui is available. Closes: LP#81019
   * apport/ui.py: Add missing 'import pwd'. Closes: LP#81033
 .
   Minor improvements:
 .
   * apport/ui.py: Get the cloakroom ticket number from the
     X-Launchpad-Blob-Token HTTP header instead of parsing the resulting page.
