Right, we restrict accessibility of reports to the user the crashed
process belonged to, in order to not expose potentially confidential
or sensitive information to other users. Thus you need to either use
sudo to copy/chmod the report to a file you can read/write to or just
run apport-retrace through sudo.

OK, I'll beautify it a bit. :)
