apport gave following message. (translated from dutch)

Problem cannot be reported

seems there are some older packages installed. Following packages have to be upgraded. Afterwards check whether the problem persists.

gir1.2-glib-2.0, libdb4.8, libdbus-1-3, libgirepository-1.0-1, libgmp3c2, libgmpxx4ldbl, libthai-data, libthai0, libtiff4, python-gobject, x11-common

check comment above

after upgrading the asked packages the report showed it was a duplicate of this bug.

I just wonder as I'm using the 11.04 why the system didn't upgrade everything as it should.

stefan: could you just be running into the lag that's caused by the update manager loading data only daily? I have had a case where I would get a refusal to report due to out of date software and I was able to start synaptic (or was it update manager?), tell it to reload its data, mark and install the available updates, and then get the crash report to go through. On my system I'm using the default for the update-manager frequency--once daily.

Just now, after asking update-manager to start and then telling it to reload its data caused the upgradeable packages to almost double from 48 to 95 packages available for upload.

You may have already done something like what I describe above, or I may be misunderstanding you, but I thought I'd comment just in case it might help.

Thanks for checking them, duanedesign.

Actually, for the record, unless package desktopcouch happens to be already installed, the fix for LP #727232 is also needed for sucessfully launching lernid in Natty.
