This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.6.1-0ubuntu9
---------------
apport (2.6.1-0ubuntu9) quantal-proposed; urgency=low
* Fix OSError crash in mark_report_upload(); regression from
2.6.1-0ubuntu8.
apport (2.6.1-0ubuntu8) quantal-proposed; urgency=low
* Ignore implausibly low addresses when computing
StacktraceAddressSignature. These are usually artifacts from gdb when not
having debug symbols, and having too many of them prevents proper
client-side duplicate detection and proper bucketing in daisy.
Backported from trunk r2541. (LP: #1084996)
* mark_report_upload(): Refresh the .upload stamps if a previous version of
the report was already uploaded, but another instance of the problem
happened since then. Thanks Brian Murray. Backported from trunk r2540.
(LP: #1084296)
apport (2.6.1-0ubuntu7) quantal-proposed; urgency=low
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Deal with dpkg_log file being a string
instead of bytes (LP: #1080915)

Bug description:
Some crash reports are missing a StacktraceAddressSignature field,
which prevents proper processing by whoopsie.
I seem to be able to reproduce this rather reliably with some simple
X.org programs, such as
SRU TEST CASE:
$ (xeyes &); sleep 1; killall -SEGV xeyes
$ (xcalc &); sleep 1; killall -SEGV xcalc
With the current versions in precise and quantal, these reports
usually do not have a StacktraceAddressSignature field in the details.
With the proposed version they should.
