apport crashs when running in chroot with OSError in run_argv

[Paul Gevers]

I am checking why my package does not build in a pbuilder chroot. To get the information from the chroot instead of my current system I installed apport in the jail. When I ran ubuntu-bug I get the trace below [1]. After that I ran apport-cli manually, because I thought that caused the problem, I got the output below [2].
