So, the bug that caused this issue is going to be considered a bug
against rhythmbox, but this issue is an issue with apport, and one that
I've actually seen a number of times before. Apport, when given a
rhythmbox issue, tends to (especially with segfaults) mark it as a
duplicate of bug #1199159 , which doesn't exist. As a few examples, here
are some issues from varying times that have been marked automatically
as dupes of bug #1199159

These might be indicative of an issue in the apport retracing service in
particular, or may just be a glitch in the system overall.

Title:
  Apport deals poorly with rhythmbox bugs

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Im using Beta 2 of 13.10.  Rhythmbox brought up an error when I tried
  to play a radio stream.

  It offered to report the bug which I did.  It then said the bug had
  already been reported.  It said it would show details on a webpage.

  Firstly Firefox did not open automatically and secondly when I did
  open FireFox it opened the following page:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199159

  This page says the bug does not exist.

  I hope this helps?

  Kind regards
