Public bug reported:

I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 alpha2 amd64 with all the daily System Updates.
Qt: 4.8.0
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.00 (4.8.0
The KDE Crash Handler: 2.1.5

Sometimes the KDE Crash Handler runs.  I try to help, so I click [Report
Bug]. Then the KDE Crash Reporting Assistant pops up, takes time
generating a backtrace, and says "The generated crash information is
probably not useful". So I click [Install Debug Symbols].  After
entering password to install debug libraries, eventually it goes back to
Fetching the Backtrace.

This is all fine. But in several situations, I'm back to "The generated
crash information is probably not useful" and the button to [Install
Debug Symbols]. And if I click the button I never progress!

The most recent example was a crash in apport-kde itself, see bug #948656. If I 
click the link (_list of files_) I get a dialog
  The packages containing debug information for the following application and 
libraries are missing:
  * /usr/bin/python2.7

but
a) I have python-dbg Version: 2.7.2-9ubuntu2 installed
b) I know I've got stuck in this endless loop before

Expected results:
drkonqi should realize the user has installed the debug packages and it's still 
not a useful backtrace and so STOP with something like "The crash information 
is still not useful, but thanks anyway.  _Reason_" (and if you click on 
_Reason_ it says "Can't get debug information for xxx")
