Bug Description

At bug 413399 there is apport-collect output attached. The dmesg output is split into BootDmesg.txt and CurrentDmesg.txt which is a nice feature. At that bug report however, there are a couple of error messages in CurrentDmesg.txt:

Error: command ['sh', '-c', 'dmesg | comm -13 /var/log/dmesg -'] failed with exit code 1:
comm: file 2 is not in sorted order

I don't know exactly what triggers the error message.

---------------
apport (1.9.3-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - hookutils.py: Fix error codes from "comm", thanks to Brian Murray.
      (LP: #414194)
    - general-hooks/generic.py: Catch xkbcomp error messages. (LP: #431807)
    - launchpad.py: Assert that we have exactly one of "distro" or "project"
      option.
    - doc/crashdb-conf.txt: Improve documentation of crash database options.
    - apport-gtk: Make Cancel/Send buttons focusable. Thanks to Marco
      Rodrigues. (LP: #447780)
    - Drop handling of the APPORT_REPORT_THIRDPARTY environment variable and
      "thirdparty" configuration file option. This has never been documented,
      and conceptually does not work. There is a proper mechanism for this in
      place now, e. g. launchpad.py's "project" option.
  * bin/apport-bug: Show deprecation warning for -p/-P. (LP: #431942)
