Comment 1 for bug 1360417

I've tracked this down to the following in apport/ui.py:

    try:
        report.add_package_info(package)
    except ValueError:
        # this happens if we are collecting information on an uninstalled
        # package
        if not ignore_uninstalled:
            raise
    except SystemError as e:
        report['UnreportableReason'] = excstr(e)
        return

We are returning from thread_collect_info() before we've written the collected information to the report. Removing the return works but then 'UnreportableReason' was changed to 'This package does not seem to be installed correctly'. I think that any information gathered by apport should be written to the report and we shouldn't return so early from collecting info.

With the Error Tracker we've made a design decision to send reports that are "unreportable" to Launchpad and it seems like this, the case of /etc/apt/source.list being unreadable, is one of the crashes we'd want reported.
