Bug Description

I have dante-client installed for the utility that comes with it, "socksify".

I use socksify, when it works, in conjunction with ssh's "-D" SOCKS proxy option to run network apps that don't normally support socks through dynamic SSH tunnels (such as rdesktop and xvncviewer etc.).

Aaaanyway, I have bug #857598 open and wanted to update it, now that I've upgraded to Oneiric (11.10) from Natty (11.04). When I went to run apport-collect, it told me I couldn't run it because I don't have package "dante" installed.

$ apport-collect 857598
Package dante not installed and no hook available, ignoring

Thing is, I've never had dante installed, only dante-client.
