This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.5.1-0ubuntu1
---------------
apport (2.5.1-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- test_recoverable_problem.py: Fix test for calling test runner with
absolute path.
- packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix crash on writing virtual_mapping.db when
running with --sandbox-dir and -S system or giving no --cache.
- REThread.py: Fix re-raising of exceptions in Python 3. Thanks Martin
Packman! (LP: #1024836)
- apport-retrace: Keep compressed CoreDump from .crash files instead of
uncompressing them into memory. This dramatically reduces memory usage.
(LP: #981155)
- Add an apport.memdbg() function which prints out current memory usage if
APPORT_MEMDEBUG is set. Annotate apport-retrace with it.
- hookutils.py: Allow specifying a list of profile names when using
attach_mac_events(). Thanks Marc Deslauriers.
- hookutils.py, attach_root_command_outputs() and root_command_output():
Drop usage of sudo, kdesudo, and gksu, and replace with pkexec. For
attach_root_command_outputs(), use a wrapper and proper .policy file
which explains the action and works under every environment; thus
attach_root_command_outputs() is preferred over root_command_output()
now, as it provides a better user experience.
- Package hooks which want to send the report to a different crash
database than "default" can now also give the database specification
itself in the "CrashDB" field, not just the DB name. With this, packages
do not need to ship a separate /etc/apport/crashdb.conf.d/ file. Please
see doc/package-hooks.txt for details. (LP: #551330)
- report.py, add_hooks_info(): If reporting against a package/program in
/opt, also search for package hooks in the corresponding /opt directory.
This allows such hooks to define a custom crash database and thus report
bugs against their own project instead of against the distribution.
(LP: #1020503)
* debian/rules: Call dh_install with --list-missing, and ignore .pyc and
.egg-info files.
* debian/apport.install: Install new polkit .policy and root_info_wrapper
files, and add policykit-1 Recommends.
* debian/apport.install: Ship is-enabled script.
* debian/apport-kde.install: Ship userpass.ui file.
* Drop debian/apport-retrace.manpages and debian/apport.manpages and install
the man pages from *.install instead. This works better with
--list-missing.
* debian/apport.install: Install 000record-status pm-utils script, to
unbreak suspend failure detection.

Title:
allow defining crashdb inline within the report
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In an application like bzr we want to record crash files on every
platform where apport is installed, Ubuntu or not. These reports are
obviously not generally Ubuntu-specific and need to go into the
upstream bug tracker (bugs.l.n/bzr). apport has a nice crashdb
mechanism for defining this, but unfortunately it depends on having a
crashdb definition installed into /etc/apport/crashdb.conf.d, which is
a bit hard to do if the program is installed eg into the users's home
directory or running from a checkout.
<https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mbp/bzr/2.1-528114-apport/+merge/22104>
Furthermore, apport aborts if the crashdb referenced in the crash file
is not known on the system.
It would be nice if all the information about where to file the report
could be recorded at the time the report is written, so the
application was more selfcontained.
One way to handle this would be to allow the
impl/project/bug_pattern_base fields from the crashdb definition to
also be taken from the crash report, eg "CrashDbImpl: launchpad".
Then if there was a system-wide definition of the crashdb it could
override them, but if there was not it would not be an error.
