Title:
apport won't report bug in apport
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
attempting to run:
ubuntu-bug
ubuntu-bug apport
ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug
Given a problem in update-manager, apport became un-usable. The above
commands led to "Could not determine the package or source package
name" or "Please use ubuntu-bug <package-name> to report a bug against
the particular package".
This is likely related to 397519, but apport's behavior is
unacceptable. A message similar to "ubuntu-bug won't work with
current system status" would quickly inform users of the situation,
rather than the incorrect messages above.

attempting to find package version:
kiosso@tigger:~$ apt-cache policy apport
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

kiosso@tigger:~$
Minimum expectation: useful error message or information allowing me to
quickly figure out how to report the bug
Reasonable expectation: quickly file useful bug report
What happened: Confusing mess of incorrect error messages
