Yeah, this problem is ancient, and has been discussed a lot of times. We
simply don't have any apt packaging lists after an offline install, so
it's impossible to determine origins, source package names, etc. We just
can't make apport work properly without having run "apt-get update" at
least once, I'm afraid.

Title:
possible for apport to report all packages with an origin of unknown
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
[Test Case]
1) Install saucy without Internet access
2) Reboot
3) Open a terminal and run 'xeyes &'
4) Run 'pkill -11 xeyes'
5) View details of the crash and notice that every package in Dependencies
has [origin: unknown]
This problem instance
(https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/ac5a56d8-0d19-11e3-9952-2c768aafd08c)
on the error tracker shows the following:
Package: apport-gtk 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 [origin: unknown]
Looking at the Dependencies, every single one is shown as unknown.
This is because the system was just installed (look at the
InstallationDate) and apt-get update has not been ran. Because there
is any package with an 'origin: unknown' marker in it the bug report
and error is then tagged 'third-party-packages' which is erroneous.
