This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.22-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.22-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: generate a DuplicateSignature tag for
    distribution upgrades too.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream release:
    - Completely rework apport-retrace to use gdb's "debug-file-directory" and
      "solib-absolute-prefix" settings and only unpack the necessary packages
      in a temporary directory. This makes it possible to use it in a running
      system without actually touching installed packages, does not need any
      root privileges, and stops the requirement of using chroots with
      fakechroot and fakeroot. This is a lot easier to maintain and use, and a
      lot faster, too. As a consequence, drop the chroot module, and update
      crash-digger accordingly. See "man apport-retrace" for the new usage.
      It is now also easier to port to other packaging backends, as a lot of
      the common logic moved out of the packaging API;
      packaging.install_retracing_packages() got dropped in favor of the
      simpler packaging.install_packages(). (LP: #832740)
    - launchpad.py: When searchTasks() times out, exit with 99 as this is a
      transient error.
    - crash-digger: Intercept OverflowError from downloaded compressed
      attachments.
    - crash-digger: Show how many bugs are left in the pool with each new
      retrace.
  * Drop debian/local/apport-chroot and manpage, and ubuntu-fat-chroot. These
    are obsolete now with the new apport-retrace.
  * Drop debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Most of it is obsolete now,
    setting up a retracer merely needs an lp:apport checkout and creating an
    apt sources file, we don't need a script for that any more.
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix invalid "continue" statement in
    DuplicateSignature code. (LP: #828037)
