The main problem here is a bad error message.

The underlying problem is that there are no official source package branches for apport. Since there are no official links, the short lp:ubuntu/apport name does not work.

The change in the last release effectively pushed the checking into a different layer, and that layer is not checking things nicely as it had expected a previous layer to do that, and now it isn't.
