Title:
  Apport refuses to submit a bug because some packages are out of date.
  It should let the user decide.

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “apport” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  This is probably a duplicate, but I couldn't find anything already
  reported while searching around.

  I just had a program crash and apport refused to submit a bug because
  some packages on my system were obsolete. Sometimes when this happens
  I know for sure that the packages that were not up to date were
  irrelevant to the bug that just happened.

  There's APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES but that doesn't help you if
  the issue can't easily be reproduced and apport has just thrown away
  your report data.

  Apport should say that packages aren't up to date and so this issue
  /might/ be fixed, but leave the choice of whether to send a bug or not
  up to the user.
