Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

Normally apport works very well for me but in the following (daily) crash it seems not to pick out the ExecutablePath correctly.

/var/crash/_var_log_mythtv_mythbackend.log.113.crash:
ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid
ExecutablePath: /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

It seems to have picked out one of the command line arguments in ProcCmdline to use as the ExecutablePath. The apport run then, fairly understandably, doesn't work, returning the error:

"This problem report does not apply to a packaged program. (/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log)"

I am running latest Feisty and mythtv was installed from the usual repositories.
