This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.24-0ubuntu1
---
apport (1.24-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
* New upstream release 1.23.1:
- apport/crashdb.py: Ensure that duplicate table only has one entry per
report ID.
- apport-retrace: Pass correct executable path to gdb in --gdb with
--sandbox mode.
- apport-retrace: Do not leave behind temporary directories on errors.
- apport-retrace: Drop assertion failure for existance of Stacktrace.
This isn't present in the case of gdb crashing, and there is not much we
can do about it. This should not break the retracer.
- apport/report.py: Unwind XError() from stack traces for the
StacktraceTop field, as they take a significant part of the trace.
This causes bugs to be duplicated which really have different causes.
* New upstream release 1.24:
- apport-retrace: Add --timestamp option to prepend a timestamp to log
messages. This is useful for batch operations.
- crash-digger: Call apport-retrace with --timestamps, to get consistent
timestamps in log output.
- hookutils.py: Add two new functions attach_gsettings_package() and
attach_gsettings_schema() for adding user-modified gsettings keys to a
report. (LP: #836489)
- hookutils.py: Add new function in_session_of_problem() which returns
whether the given report happened in the currently running XDG session.
This can be used to determine if e. g. ~/.xsession-errors is relevant and
should be attached.
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Also copy
apt/sources.list.d/ into sandbox.
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Install apt keyrings
from config dir or from system into sandbox. (LP: #856216)
- packaging.py, backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Define that
install_packages() should return a SystemError for broken
configs/unreachable servers etc., and fix the apt/dpkg implementation
accordingly.
- apport-retrace: Don't crash, just give a proper error message if servers
are unreachable, or configuration files are broken. (LP: #859248)
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix crash when
/etc/apport/native-origins.d contains any files. (LP: #865199)
- hookutils, recent_logfile(): Fix invalid return value if log file is not
readable. (LP: #819357)
- test/crash: Fix race condition in the second instance terminates
immediately check.
- hookutils.py: Replace attach_gconf() with a no-op stub. It used static
python modules like gconf which broke the PyGI GTK user interface, and
gconf is rather obsolete these days.
- ui.py, open_url(): Greatly simply and robustify by just using xdg-open.
This already does the right thing wrt. reading the default browser from
GNOME, KDE, XCE, and other desktops. (LP: #198449)
- data/general-hooks/generic.py: Only attach ~/.xsession_errors if the bug
is reported in the same XDG session as the crash happened. (LP: #869974)
- Ignore crashes for programs which got updated in between the crash and
reporting. (LP: #132904)
- Special-case crashes of 'twistd': Try to determine the client program and
assign the report to that, or fail with an UnreportableReason.
(LP: #755025)
- apport-gtk: In bug update mode, make details dialog resizable and fix
default size. (LP: #865754)
- apport-gtk: Fix crash if report does not have ProcCmdline. (LP: #854452)
- hookutils.py, attach_wifi(): Anonymize ESSID and AP MAC from iwconfig
output. (LP: #746900)
- test/crash: Fix test failure if user is not in any system groups.
- test/crash: Change to /tmp/ for test crash process, to fix failure if the
user that runs the test suite cannot write into the current directory.
(LP: #868695)
- ui.py: Improve error message if package is not a genuine distro package.
Thanks to Ronan Jouchet. (LP: #559345)
* debhelper/dh_apport: Install debian/source.apport into the first binary
package only, as per documentation. (LP: #687584)
* debian/apport.upstart: Exit pre-start with 0 if apport is disabled, to
avoid warning message about failed startup. (LP: #857086)
* debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for precise branch.

Title:
apport generates bug reports against the twisted project instead of a
more relevant project

Bug description:
Sometimes apport generates a bug report like

think it sets Affects to twisted (Ubuntu) because the command line
tool which started the process is
