Bug Description

Got it several times and this is not solved:

steps:
- got a aptdaemon crash
- try to report it via "report this issue" menu
- apport dialog details identify this report as a duplicate of bug #639616 . But this one is old and marked as "fix released", so nothing can be reported due to this wrong duplicate.

Seems that apport take care only of the beginning of the error message :

it identify:
- aptdaemon crashed with AttributeError in _inline_callbacks()
- but ignore the end of the error : 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

and does not care about "fix released" field (at least for this package)

an other different crash, and still the same apport madness:

alacarte crashed with AttributeError in split(): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'

--> identified as DuplicateOf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147414

again, that old report is marked as "fixe released" since a while. So apport is rezally buggy.
