Title:
  Without an apt cache, packages are not considered  "genuine Ubuntu
  packages"

Status in Apport:
  Invalid
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When trying to report an unrelated bug in alacarte, Apport repeatedly
  failed with the error message: "This bug cannot be reported: This is
  not a genuine Ubuntu package." I have attached a screenshot of this
  occurring on a fresh install of Lucid alpha 1 (x86 version).

  Just to ensure that this was not a random fluke, I also ran "ubuntu-
  bug apport" from the command-line and received the same error. Indeed,
  apport appears to regard every program as not a "genuine Ubuntu
  program."

  I would also include the contents of /var/log/apport.log, but no such
  file exists on my system. The directory /var/crash is empty. The
  output of uname -a is "Linux [HOSTNAME] 2.6.32-7-generic #10-Ubuntu
  SMP Sun Dec 6 13:43:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux".
