Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

It would be helpful for triaging and debugging if we can try to categorize kernel bugs as they're being reported and tag them accordingly. The following is a patch to begin doing so. Please consider applying. It's also available at the following:

Um, this is not a patch for Launchpad. This is a patch for the Ubuntu apport package to improve the linux kernel hook. I'm re-opening this.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.13.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.13.2-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _install_debug_kernel(): Do not crash on an
      outdated kernel, just return that it is outdated. (LP: #532923)
    - launchpad.py test suite: Add "Referer" HTTP header, now required by
      launchpad.
    - launchpad.py: Fix crash if configuration does not have an
      "escalated_tag" option.
    - launchpad.py: Port to launchpadlib 1.0 API, thanks Michael Bienia for
      the initial patch! (LP: #545009)
    - gtk/apport-gtk-mime.desktop.in, kde/apport-kde-mime.desktop.in: Change
      categories so that these do not ever appear in menu editors.
      (LP: #449215)
    - launchpad.py: Some LP bugs have broken attachments (this is a bug in
      Launchpad itself). Ignore those instead of crashing.
    - apport-gtk: Turn http:// and https:// links into clickable hyperlinks in
      information and error dialogs. (LP: #516323)
    - apport-retrace: Fix crash when trying to rebuild package info for
      reports without an ExecutablePath. (LP: #436157)
    - ui.py: Fix crash when package information cannot be determined due to
      broken apt status. (LP: #362743)
    - ui.py: Fix crash when /etc/apport/crashdb.conf is damaged; print an
      appropriate error message instead. (LP: #528327)
    - data/kernel_crashdump: Fix crash if log file disappeared underneath us.
      (LP: #510327)
    - data/apport: Fix IOError when apport is called with invalid number of
      arguments, and stderr is not a valid fd. (LP: #467363)
    - hookutils.py: Factor out the DMI collection code from attach_hardware()
      into attach_dmi(), and call that in attach_alsa() as well. Thanks to
      Brad Figg for the patch! (LP: #552091)
    - apport/ui.py: Fix the help output if Apport is invoked under an
      alternative name (like apport-collect). (LP: #539427)
  * debian/local/apport-chroot: Fix crash if $APPORT_CRASHDB_CONF is not set.
    (LP: #487700)
  * debian/control: Bump python-launchpadlib dependency, to ensure that we
    have a current version (LP: #407091), and the "1.0" protocol available.
  * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Drop _() i18n, it's not available in
    the hook and causes crashes. (LP: #538368)

  [ Leann Ogasawara ]
  * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py:
    - Clean up some of the wording in the information dialogs for the
      interactive kernel hook. Also add an additional "I don't know" option when
      asked how frequently an issue occurs. (LP: #534638)
    - Autodetect if running an upstream kernel. (LP: #532932)
    - Attempt to categorize issue. Then add tag based on category.
