[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1361242@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.14.7-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.14.7-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Fix interpretation of core dump ulimits: they are in bytes, not KiB.
      (LP: #1346497)
    - apport-retrace: Don't require specifying an operation; default to
      updating the given .crash file. (LP: #1361242)
    - Write report even on UnreportableReasons, so that whoopsie can still
      upload them. (LP: #1360417)
    - apt/dpkg install_packages(): Write a "packages.txt" into sandbox root
      directory to keep track of installed packages and their versions.
      Prerequisite for LP #1352591.
    - apt/dpkg install_packages(): Avoid re-downloading/installing packages
      which are already installed into a permanent sandbox. Prerequisite for
      LP #1352591.
    - sandboxutils.py, make_sandbox(): Drop check for already existing files
      when dynamically resolving libraries and ExecutablePaths; with that,
      these packages would never get updated in a permanent sandbox. The new
      version tracking from above now takes care of that. (LP: #1352591)
    - Fix report.test_add_proc_info test to stop assuming that pid 1 is named
      "init", as one can specify a different one on the kernel command line.
    - report.py, add_gdb_info(): Check for truncated core dumps, and set
      UnreportableReason and raise an IOError on them. Handle this in
      apport-retrace and whoopsie-upload-all to fail properly instead of
      silently producing broken Stacktraces. (LP: #1354571)

Title:
  apport-retrace does not modify the original report as expected with no
  option specified

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Current behavior: When calling apport-retract and specifying a .crash file, apport-retrace tells me the following:
  Usage: apport-retrace [options] <apport problem report | crash ID>

  apport-retrace: error: you either need to do a local operation (-s,
  -g, -o) or supply an authentication file (--auth); see --help for a
  short help

  Expected behavior: apport-retrace should modify the specified file, as
  indicated by the man page.

  Demonstration: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ihXi2hkCPfbEtVSDd5S2lVM0E/edit?usp=sharing
  This demonstration was recorded on today's utopic iso.

  I have installations of the last 3 ubuntu releases (saucy, trusty,
  utopic) and this bug affects all of them (though trusty is as of
  14.04.1 and hasn't been upgraded since then).
