Public bug reported:

When I install mtr I get this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mtr : Depends: libncurses5 (>= 6) but 5.9+20140118-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
       Depends: libtinfo5 (>= 6) but 5.9+20140118-1ubuntu1 is to be installed

So I tried to file a bug against mtr. But I got an error from apport:

The problem cannot be reported:

This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party
package and try again.

Which is trivially wrong:

 determines the address of each network hop between the machines,
 it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the
 quality of the link to each machine.  As it does this, it prints
 running statistics about each machine.
