Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apport

I reported a crash in Synaptic yesterday:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/355415

Now, the "Apport retrace service" invalidated this bug because I don't have 
scrollkeeper installed.  But scrollkeeper is deprecated and replaced by 
rarian-compat (which is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop and conflicts with 
scrollkeeper).
Also, Synaptic installs & works just fine *without* scrollkeeper (which is only 
used for the documentation, I suppose).

Seems like something is wrong with the retrace service, and I wonder how
many legitimate crasher bugs have been invalidated because of this
already?  I really hope not too many other packages are impacted, and I
think it might be useful to have a look at the invalidated bugs reported
against those packages...

(This bug is also reported on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list,
because I think looking at invalidated crash reports might be needed to
make sure everything in Jaunty is stable, and we don't have a lot of
time left!)

** Affects: apport (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
