[Apport retracing service (apport)]

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #861584. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
