This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.19.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
apport (2.19.1-0ubuntu2) wily; urgency=medium

* apt/dpkg: Don't mark packages downloaded from Launchpad for installation
by apt. Thanks Brian Murray. (Cherry-picked from trunk.)

apport (2.19.1-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream release:
    - Consistently intercept "report file already exists" errors in all writers
      of report files (package_hook, kernel_crashdump, and similar) to avoid
      unhandled exceptions on those. (LP: #1500450)
    - apt/dpkg: Fall back to direct Launchpad ddeb download if we can't find it
      in the apt cache. Thanks Brian Murray! (LP: #1500557)
    - doc/data-format.tex: Clarify that key names are being treated as case
      sensitive (unlike RFC822).

[ Brian Murray ]
* data/iwlwifi_error_dump: fix add_package call. (LP: #1496268)

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]
  * data/package-hooks/sources_ubiquity.py: Don't try decode() a str
    (LP: #1501773).
