** Description changed:
+ SRU information appears in comment #3.

apport will set an UnreportableReason in the following situations for
crash reports where information collection fails or for packages that do
not exist. From apport/ui.py:
1036 try:
1037 icthread.exc_raise()
1038 except (IOError, EOFError, zlib.error) as e:
1039 # can happen with broken core dumps
1040 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = '%s\n\n%s' % (
1041 _('This problem report is damaged and cannot be
processed.'),
1042 repr(e))
1043 except ValueError: # package does not exist
1044 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('The report
belongs to a package that is not installed.')
1045 except Exception as e:
1046 apport.error(repr(e))
1047 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('An error
occurred while attempting to '
1048 'process this
problem report:') + '\n\n' + str(e)
Because an UnreportableReason exists in the report, apport will stop
collecting information. Subsequently, there is "_MarkForUpload" is left
as True (the default) so apport calls mark_report_upload which creates a
.upload file such that the report which is incomplete or corrupt is then
uploaded to the Error Tracker.
In these cases the "_MarkForUpload" key should be set to "False" thereby
preventing uploads to the Error Tracker.
