This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.12-0ubuntu2
---------------
apport (2.12-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low
* Merge from trunk:
- sandboxutils.py, make_sandbox(): Install packages from Package: and
Dependencies: fields also if we have a ProcMaps: field and there are any
third-party packages. This fixes retracing crashes that use PPAs (as they
don't have Contents.gz).
- Robustify "progress bar visible" GTK and KDE UI checks for the faster
collection due to dropping lsb_release.

Title:
documentation refers to OS and OSRelease, bug reports use
DistroRelease
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The documentation (doc/data-format.tex) describes the OS and OSRelease
fields:
\item [OS:] (optional) Name of the operating system. On LSB compliant
systems, this can be determined with \verb!lsb_release -si!.
\item [OSRelease:] (optional) Release version of the operating system. On
LSB compliant systems, this can be determined with \verb!lsb_release -sr!.
But these are not included in bug reports. Instead, the DistroRelease
field is included, and its value is constructed from the output of
lsb_release -sir in report.py:
def add_os_info(self):
'''Add operating system information.
This adds:
- DistroRelease: lsb_release -sir output
- Architecture: system architecture in distro specific notation
- Uname: uname -srm output
- NonfreeKernelModules: loaded kernel modules which are not free (if
there are none, this field will not be present)
'''
p = subprocess.Popen(['lsb_release', '-sir'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE, close_fds=True)
self['DistroRelease'] =
p.communicate()[0].decode().strip().replace('\n', ' ')
u = os.uname()
self['Uname'] = '%s %s %s' % (u[0], u[2], u[4])
self['Architecture'] = packaging.get_system_architecture()
The documentation should be updated to reflect the use of
DistroRelease instead of OS and OSRelease.
