This bug was fixed in the package apport - 0.111

---------------
apport (0.111) intrepid; urgency=low

  The "(Kernel) OOPS, I dumped it again!" release.

  * apport/ui.py: Fix test_run_report_bug_unpackaged_pid() to work with the
    installed run-tests from the package as well.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Ignore broken LP bug tasks instead of
    crashing on them.
  * apport/report.py, add_proc_info(): Report the AppArmor or SELinux context
    in a new ProcAttrCurrent field, read from /proc/pid/attr/current.
    Document it in doc/data-format.tex. The field will not be added if the
    proc attribute cannot be read or isn't present. Thanks to Steve Beattie
    for the patch and the suggestion!
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Switch to intrepid.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Fix installation of python-apt. Also
    install apt, to avoid library version mismatches to python-apt.
  * debian/apport.default: Enable apport by default again, now that we have
    working retracers.
  * apport/report.py, test_add_gdb_info_script(): Use bash, not dash as test
    program for core dumping; stack trace is awkwardly bad with dash, so that
    the test case cannot really work any more.
  * Add package-hooks/source_linux.py: Package hook for collecting kernel
    related information. By Matt Zimmerman, thank you! (LP: #251441)
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Fix documentation of -p, it specifies the
    binary package name, not the source.
  * apport/packaging.py: Add get_kernel_package() to return the actual Linux
    kernel package name; useful if the user reports a bug against just
    "linux". Implement it in backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py.
  * apport/ui.py: "Do what I mean" when filing a bug against "linux" and
    report it against the actual kernel package.
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: If just one argument is given, infer -p/-P from
    the type of the argument.
  * apport/ui.py: Drop the PackageArchitecture field for the uploaded report
    if it is equal to Architecture. Adapt apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py to
    fall back to Architecture, and mention the change in doc/data-format.tex.
  * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Add new "skip_keys" argument to filter
    out keys. Add test cases.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Do not write the "Date:" field on
    upload(), and fetch it from the bug metadata in download().
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Support reading bugs with
    the "--- " separator instead of "ProblemType: ". Launchpad doesn't create
    bugs that way ATM, but at least we have the reading part implemented now.
  * package-hooks/source_linux.py: Drop Uname, ProcVersion, and
    RunningKernelVersion fields, since they are all subsumed in the
    ProcVersionSignature field.
  * apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Strip spaces from package argument.
  * apport/ui.py, add_hooks_info(): Collect OS info first, then call the
    package hooks, so that the linux hook actually has a chance to delete the
    Uname field.
  * bin/kernel_hook, test-hooks: Throw away the original kernel hook which
    we never used (and got superseded by the proper source_linux.py package
    hook now). Replace it with the new logic of looking for
    /var/crash/vmcore{,.log} and turning that into an apport report.
  * debian/apport.init: Call kernel_hook if /var/crash/vmcore exists.
    (LP: #241322)
  * apport/ui.py: Collect information for "ProblemType: Kernel" as well, so
    that we run the package hook. Adapt test suite to cover this.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version (no required changes).
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade, qt4/apport-qt: Generalize notification of kernel
    crash, since it now happens after a boot, not right after the BUG/OOPS.
    But in the future we want to cover both cases.
