apport-retrace - IndexError: list index out of range

[Jamin W. Collins]

Binary package hint: apport

Attempts to retrace a kernel crashdump fail with the following output:

$ sudo apport-retrace --verbose --stdout --rebuild-package-info /var/crash/linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic.0.crash
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/apport-retrace", line 261, in <module>
    options.extra_packages)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 407, in install_retracing_packages
    return self._install_debug_kernel(report)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 363, in _install_debug_kernel
    ver = report['Package'].split()[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

This is even after building and installing the dbgsym ddeb for the associated kernel (current running) with the following:

$ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
$ sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
$ cd linux-2.6.32/
$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules binary-generic skipdbg=false
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic-dbgsym_2.6.32-22.36_amd64.ddeb

Uploads of the crashdump repeatedly fail, which is why I've looked to retrace it locally. I suspect the upload failures are due to the size of the crash dump file:

$ ls -sh /var/crash/linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic.0.crash2.3G /var/crash/linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic.0.crash
2.3G /var/crash/linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic.0.crash
