Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

python2.6: installed version 2.6.4-6ubuntu1, latest version: 2.6.5~rc2-0ubuntu1
dpkg: installed version 1.15.5.6ubuntu1, latest version: 1.15.5.6ubuntu2
python2.6-minimal: installed version 2.6.4-6ubuntu1, latest version: 2.6.5~rc2-0ubuntu1

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

This just happened to me using Lucid.

I had modified the config to report a bug to debian, I'll attach that in the next comment.

Here's the backtrace:

Here's a copy of my reportbug rc file. All I changes was the bts line:
