Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
apport keeps generating bug reports that get rejected because the lastest packages are claimed to be not current.
This is the latest reject:
Thank you for your report!
However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:
libpam-modules: installed version 1.1.1-2ubuntu3, latest version: 1.1.1-2ubuntu2
libpam0g: installed version 1.1.1-2ubuntu3, latest version: 1.1.1-2ubuntu2
Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.
Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!
The rejection is useless because I cannot "upgrade" to an older version of the package.
Please tell me how to get the correct symbols for these packages so useful core dumps will be generated, and add this information to the rejection notice above!

Yes, I'm seeing this issue too -- it is somewhat annoying because as a bug triager I regularly direct users who report a crash through the process of enabling apport and submitting a crash report. Just to have the bug marked as invalid because the apport claims that the packages where not up-to-date. Looking at the version numbers I get the impression that apport only considers package version in the main repository branch, not -updates and -security?
