Title:
  responding to kernel oops crash icon in Meerkat beta livecd leads to
  "package linux-2.6.35-generic is not a genuine ubuntu package

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  The crash icon appeared on the top panel, I clicked on it, it said there was a kernel problem.
  I answered the questions (which you really can't answer at this point, I filed a different bug
  about that), only to end up with the dialogue box saying "package linux-2.6.35-14-generic"
  is not a genuine ubuntu package!

  Since the system itself supplied the package, couldn't it get it
  right?

  If it was going to fail to send the report, couldn't it either not offer to do so at the beginning
  before the user spends all the time pondering unanswerable questions?

  There is a bug (443961) which calls allowing reports for non-genuine packages a wishlist item; 
  if allowing them to be sent is the only way to actually file a kernel oops report, this seems
  like more than a wishlist item.  Of course, if you fix this bug by sending the right package
  name instead of a bad one, that other bug could still be considered a wishlist item.
