Yes, this was a very fresh install. I suspect that this was failing as my VM did not yet have proper Internet access. It works now (at least running `ubuntu-bug apport` in the terminal did not pop up any errors.

Is there any way to "pre-load" the appropriate data from the Ubuntu servers so that networkless installations don't run into problems with apport? I understand that reporting bugs without a network connection is somewhat difficult regardless, but in the case that an Ubuntu program *does* crash, it might be better for the user to ask about filing a bug, rather than apport failing as well.
