Title:
  apport-retrace occassionally creates a retraced report without a
  stacktrace

Status in Daisy:
  Triaged
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On the Ubuntu Error Tracker retracers I've noticed that apport
  occasionally will retrace a crash and that the retraced crash report
  will contain no Stacktrace in it.

  Here a couple of examples of the retraced reports, unfortunately
  without the CoreDump.

  I've seen this with both crashes on i386 and armhf, so it doesn't seem
  to be armhf specific although it may be related to using gdb-
  multiarch.  I've created statsd counters for this
  (retrace.missing.stacktrace) and so far (after 96 hours) it has only
  occurred 12 times. Subsequently, it seems like a rather low priority
  but it is still curious.
