This was bug was reported by apport about a non-Ubuntu package which is something apport should not allow.

Closing the Mythbuntu task.

The "mythstreams" package was just an artefact in one of our PPAs. I've just requested its deletion.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Indeed it already queries the apt-cache for the origin. There might be something wrong with the origins of PPAs.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

For a PPA, I currently get

<Origin component:'' archive:'' origin:'' label:''site:'ppa.launchpad.net' isTrusted:'False'>

so the "not o.site.startswith('ppa')" check should still to work. However, it doesn't check whether the currently installed version is "None", i. e. isn't available from any package source. This happened both here and in bug 337490.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 0.143

---------------
apport (0.143) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/apport.README.Debian: Document how to temporarily and permanently
    enable crash interception.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, is_distro_package(): Do not consider a
    package a native distro one if installed version is "None". This happens
    with some PPA packages. (LP: #252734)
  * apport/report.py, anonymize(): Move user name anonymization into the
    "non-root" case as well; fixes uninitialized variable. (LP: #338847)
