Public bug reported:

I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 alpha2 amd64 with all the daily System
Updates, and apport-kde version 1.94-0ubuntu1

I was trying to reproduce an apport-kde bug , so I ran
  apport-kde core
in a directory that had a core file in it

Bad idea.  I get a "Collecting problem Information" dialog, then an alert
  Invalid problem report
  Package core does not exist
and when I OK the dialog, I get KDE's Crash Handler:
  We are sorry, Apport KDE closed unexpectedly
  ...
  Details:
  Executable: python2.7 PID: 15862 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

Expected results:
I typed the wrong thing, but the crash reporter shouldn't itself crash :-)

This happens every time on two core files I have lying around,
("/home/skierpage/core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1
(SYSV), SVR4-style, from '/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
/tmp/foo.pps --splas'" and "core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from './crasher'"). The stack trace is
attached, it's always the same, QWidget::~QWidget called from
sipQtGuipart9.cpp etc.

If I click [Report Bug] in the KDE Crash Handler then I'm in another
maze of woe because the KDE Crash Reporting Assistant endlessly invites
me to Install Debug Symbols yet still says "The generated crash
information is probably not useful"..., but I think drkonqi s a
different package.
