Title:
  apport won't install in a natty chroot on a Debian squeeze machine,
  due to missing upstart

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  If you make a natty chroot with debootstrap on a Debian squeeze
  machine then try to install apport you get:

  
  Setting up apport (1.20-0ubuntu1) ...
  start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
  invoke-rc.d: initscript apport, action "start" failed.
  dpkg: error processing apport (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Processing triggers for python-support ...
  No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
                                                                Errors were encountered while processing:  apport
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  I believe apport should still install if upstart is not running, as it
  (at least apport-cli) will actually work. I suspect it is normally
  only tested in chroots on ubuntu machines, so this problem has not
  been noticed.
