Public bug reported:

When using "Examine locally" after "ubuntu-bug /var/crash/..." and
selecting to run a gdb session, the following error dialog pops up:

    Error while creating the child process:
    Failed to execute child process "apport-retrace --gdb '/var/crash/....crash'" (No such file or directory)

It looks like apport is calling the process wrong: instead of as a
command plus arguments, the whole string might get used as command.

It works fine from the shell.

(btw: it would be nice, if copy'n'paste would work for the text of such
popups)
