This is done on purpose. When the crash happens, we only collect a minimal amount of information, and the expensive bits (like package versions, md5sum checks, invoking gdb) are moved to the frontend.
However, if you do not want to run the .crash file through the UI first, you can call apport-retrace with -R, --rebuild-package-info Rebuild report's Package information (from --help output). ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- apport generates crash files that are incomplete according to apport-retrace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
