Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for libavahi-common3: package version 0.6.30-4ubuntu1 dbgsym version 0.6.30-0ubuntu2
outdated debug symbol package for libtiff4: package version 3.9.5-1ubuntu1 dbgsym version 3.9.4-5ubuntu6
outdated debug symbol package for libk5crypto3: package version 1.9.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1 dbgsym version 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1
outdated debug symbol package for libavahi-client3: package version 0.6.30-4ubuntu1 dbgsym version 0.6.30-0ubuntu2
outdated debug symbol package for passwd: package version 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3ubuntu2 dbgsym version 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3ubuntu1
outdated debug symbol package for libkrb5-3: package version 1.9.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1 dbgsym version 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1
outdated debug symbol package for libdatrie1: package version 0.2.4-3 dbgsym version 0.2.4-1
outdated debug symbol package for libgssapi-krb5-2: package version 1.9.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1 dbgsym version 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1
outdated debug symbol package for libkrb5support0: package version 1.9.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1 dbgsym version 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1
outdated debug symbol package for libthai0: package version 0.1.15-2 dbgsym version 0.1.14-2ubuntu1

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

I had just updated the system so that I could run some of the Laptop QA tests. Apparently the debug packages weren't available yet.

The retracing service kicked back two of my bugs during Oneiric Beta 1. It is unfortunate that this is most likely to happen when you need bug reports the most.

1) (not Apport's problem) Could somebody make sure that the debug packages are available at the same time as the base package?

2) You know what debug packages were needed. Could you reprocess the stack trace on the server side?

3) Could apport on the client notice that the debug packages are out of date, and decline to report the bug?
