Hi,

Thanks for reporting this bug.

This bug is a duplicate of #497796, comment 10 in that bug points to
this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/497796/comments/10).

If you haven't run apt-get update (ie no package cache) or use a mirror,
apport detection of non-official packages does not work.

Marking this one as a duplicate.

Thanks,

Tom

Title:
  [reprepro] This is not a genuine Ubuntu package

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  We have setup reprepro to mirror the Ubuntu Lucid repository (lucid, lucid-updates and lucid-security). 
  This is mainly because we are adding minor changes to packages, i.e. ca-certificates to include our company certs.
  However, kernel, applications and all the other stuff is left from Ubuntu Lucid.
  Obviously, reprepro signs the repository with a different gpg key than the one used for Lucid.

  Lastly however, I tried to report a bug in the audio support of Dell
  E6410 docking station with and ran into a bug in apport. There is an
  error message "Problem in alsa-base": "The problem cannot be reported"
  "This is not a genuine Ubuntu package".

  Obviously this is not true. The kernel, alsa-base package, pulseaudio,
  all kernel modules come from Lucid. I changed the sources.list to the
  one that originally came with Lucid, apt-get update (no 'apt-get
  upgrade') and reported the problem fine.
