In [2]: DistUpgradeApport.apport_pkgfailure("whoopsie", "it failed")
WARNING:root:Failed to run apport ('str' does not support the buffer interface)
Out[2]: False

I've seen the same error message in some distribution upgrade failures
e.g. bug 1350416.

2014-07-30 09:15:35,305 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() cgmanager: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
2014-07-30 09:15:36,352 WARNING Failed to run apport ('str' does not support the buffer interface)

This has to do with the log files DistUpgradeApport is adding to the bug
report.
