This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.19-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.19-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream release:
    - apt backend: Do not generate a warning if the opportunistically added -dbg
      package does not exist.
    - apt backend: Only add -dbg in --no-pkg mode, as there will be conflicts in
      normal package mode.
    - apt backend: Call tar with target cwd instead of using -C; the latter causes
      an extra openat() call which breaks with current fakechroot.
    - launchpad.py: Fix retracer crash if DistroRelease field does not exist.
    - Convert deprecated failIf()/assert_() TestCase method calls to
      assertFalse()/assertTrue().
    - In apport-bug, if the user specifies a PID referring to a kernel thread,
      do the right thing and file the bug against the kernel
    - In hookutils.attach_dmesg, skip over an initial truncated message if one
      is present (this happens when the ring buffer overflows)
    - Change bug patterns to just use one central file instead of per-package
      files. This allows bug patterns to be written which are not package
      specific, and is easier to maintain as well. IMPORTANT: This changed the
      format of crashdb.conf: bug_pattern_base is now obsolete, and the new
      attribute bug_pattern_url now points to the full URL/path of the patterns
      file. Thanks to Matt Zimmerman!
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Drop local installation of packages,
    we now just check that they are installed in the system.
  * debian/local/apport-chroot: Convert --auth argument to absolute path, as
    fakechroot needs that.

  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: don't collect bug reports on missing
    menu.lst - this is a user error that they need to fix up on their side.
    (LP: #668888)

  [ Matt Zimmerman ]
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Add UpgradeStatus field to show if the
    system was upgraded from a previous release (and when)
  * debian/apport.install: actually install the java_uncaught_exception script
