This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.18-0ubuntu9

---------------
apport (2.18-0ubuntu9) wily; urgency=medium

  * Revert changes to data/package_hook to include the package version. This
    just hides the problem that somewhere during whoopsie add_package_info()
    is not called. (See LP #1485787)
  * packaging-apt-dpkg.py, is_distro_package(): If there is no origin and
    /etc/system-image/channel.ini exists, assume the package is from a
    read-only system image and accept it as distro package. With this we don't
    need /var/lib/apt/lists/ indexes any more just to confirm the origin.
    (LP: #1489410)
  * Merge fixes from trunk:
    - whoopsie-upload-all: Intercept OSError too (e. g. "No space left on
      device"). (LP: #1476258)
    - apport-retrace: Only consider the file name of a source file, not its
      path; the latter often contains parts like "../" or directories which are
      specific to a build machine. This fixes most broken StacktraceSource
      results.  (LP: #1462491)

Title:
  do not require apt lists to be pre-installed

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Fix Committed
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On the phone images the space required for the lists in
  /var/lib/apt/lists is excessive (around 70MB) for the device targets
  we have. The partition it currently resides in did not include this
  requirement when their size was specified.

  Removing those prevents one from using apport-cli to report bugs about
  packages that are from the -updates pocket. This is due to the fact
  that apport will not allow one to report bugs about packages which it
  cannot determine are from the official archive or a native origin PPA.

  Possible solutions include generating the list dynamically as part of
  the writable partition or including a smaller  simpler manifest.

  This report was inspired by bug #1471903
