Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
One of the challenges faced by the mozillateam is that the same versions of packages must be installed on the system running -retrace as on the original reporters system. One method around this problem is to run -retrace in a chroot.
I have found that it works pretty well to run -retrace via pbuilder. Kind of a kludge, but it works. Unless you have a better solution. I think pbuilder can be hacked enough to make it work.
Thanks

I've found schroot on LVM snapshots[1] much easier to use than pbuilder
for doing my retraces. However, I know pitti has been working on
incorporating support for fakechroot, which will be very cool. :)
