Marco,

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gothicx/apport/ignore_obsolete_packages/revision/1597 is wrong, it would instantly disable _all_ unreportable reasons, not just the "obsolete packages" one.

The problem here is that apparently Sebastien and you tried to re-process a .crash file which already went through data collection in the UI earlier? As soon as it collects data once, then it updates the .crash file, and UnreportableReason will be written to the .crash file. Specifying $APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES later on doesn't help. So either put APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES into your general environment, or don't collect information from the Apport notification which opens automatically (through update-notifier).

Supporting this properly would mean that ui.py needs to dump all the package, hooks, and UnreportableReason data fields, and re-collect information again. It should probably be sufficient to just del report['Stackrace'], that's the field that collect_info() uses to determine whether or not it needs to collect information.
