Public bug reported:

I attemted to use apport to file a bug against the kernel today like so:

apport-bug --save=filename linux

and got the following error:

*** Problem in linux
The problem cannot be reported

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


This was seen on a fresh, STOCK install of 12.04.4 amd64 server, with NO 3rd party packages installed.

This same error occurred for the following package names:

linux
linux-image-generic
linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic

This makes it rather impossible to file kernel bugs against 12.04.4.
