Bug Description
When trying to report an unrelated bug in alacarte, Apport repeatedly failed with the error message: "This bug cannot be reported: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package." I have attached a screenshot of this occurring on a fresh install of Lucid alpha 1 (x86 version).
Just to ensure that this was not a random fluke, I also ran "ubuntu-bug apport" from the command-line and received the same error. Indeed, apport appears to regard every program as not a "genuine Ubuntu program."
I would also include the contents of /var/log/

Was this a very fresh installation? In this case I suspect that the daily "apt-get update" cron job did not run yet. Does this vm guest have network access?
It should work after "sudo apt-get update", can you confirm?
