apport initially creates a minimal .crash file that does not contain all
the information necessary to make a complete report.  One can run
apport-cli with the .crash file name as an argument to and choose "View
report" or "Keep report..." and apport will gather the extra
information. After which you should not encounter that specific error
message.  However, apport-retrace contains the following code so may
still fail:

282 # sanity checks
283 required_fields = set(['CoreDump', 'ExecutablePath', 'Package', 
'DistroRelease'])
284 if report['ProblemType'] == 'KernelCrash':
285     if not set(['Package', 'VmCore']).issubset(set(report.keys())):
286         apport.error('report file does not contain the required fields')
287         sys.exit(0)
288     apport.error('KernelCrash processing not implemented yet')
289     sys.exit(0)
