This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #1499842. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

This is a regression of the fix for bug 1499842, the merge from debian overwrote dkms_apport.py and now it is back to its state from before bug 1499842 was fixed.

There may have been more changes to dkms_apport.py that disappeared too though.
