Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1133543/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

Hans,

This happenend on 12.10.
How do I check the version of apport?
I tried to add the relevant information to this bug using apport-collect but it failed as well.
See below.

alex@VPCCW1FFXL:~$ apport-collect 1133543
ERROR: The launchpadlib Python module is not installed. This functionality is not available.

Please run "apt-cache policy apport" to see which version you have installed.

I tried to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 12.10 but I was not able to trigger a crash. Btw, does "ubuntu-bug -w" crash immediately or do you get to the dialog telling you to click on a window first?

Hans,

Here's the result of the requested command:

alex@VPCCW1FFXL:~$ apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10
  Candidate: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 0
        500 http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.6.1-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages

I think these crashes might have been related to a missing reboot after a kernel update.
Running "ubuntu-bug -w" no longer crashes but "apport-collect 1133543" still gives the error.
