The problem is that there is no firefox-3.6 package provided and therefore the ubufox extension gives wrong version number for the apport scripts. The fix for this in Lucid to provide firefox-3.6 package or disable the fetching of the program version with this patch in ubufox:

I meant the ubufox tries to send an error report for a package which does not exist. The following patch does not fetch the version number.

Moving to ubufox as that's the actual problem for this.

@kecsap
That patch would break ubufox for Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 3.5 (which I guess won't be a problem soon), but the better fix I think is to only return the version where appropriate.

affects: firefox (Ubuntu) → ubufox (Ubuntu)

@Micah: I have just realized that you already attached a patch and your patch suits much more better. Should I do anything with this bug?
