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.
Hey, Thomas, that's great!
