Hey, Thomas, that's great!

It's hard to keep working on a bug when the tools crash, so thanks for trying. Searching around a little about apport and Unicode, I see bug reports like this:

  Apport console frontend (ubuntu-bug, apport-cli) doesn't work with non-English locales
  Bug 492290

I wonder if that could be it, if your Ubuntu machine is set for a French, or other, locale?

If that might be it, people there have been able to use apport from the terminal, if they run it under a generic locale. That could look like:

  LC_ALL=C apport-collect 1030151

or

  LANG=C apport-collect 1030151

Those are probably pretty equivalent for our purposes; I don't know enough about locales.
