crash interactions (LP: #1778497)
* Move apport autoreport service files to
SRU verification for Bionic:
I have reproduced the problem on Ubuntu Desktop with apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2
in bionic-updates and have verified that the version of apport
2.20.9-0ubuntu7.3 in -proposed fixes the issue.

When is the apport-autoreport.path service started? I was testing this
and noticed that when switching the mode to automatic in g-c-c the file
/var/lib/apport/autoreport is created but apport-autoreport.path does
not seem to be started so crash reports would sit around until the next
reboot when

Title:
In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences
Hello Didier, or anyone else affected,
Accepted apport into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.9-0ubuntu7.3 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
Thanks! I indeed didn't try the server side, I don't see how this is a
new issue though compared to apport-noui.service? The same service files
start/restart/stop rules are just moved to apport package via apport-
autoreport.service. So, if there is a race on install until the next
reboot, the
sil2100 asked me to look at the SRU of this for Ubuntu 18.04 and I
tested something in Cosmic that I have a concern about.
On a cosmic server I installed apport-noui, which also installed
whoopsie, I then used kill -11 and a .crash file was created in
/var/crash but no .upload and .uploaded file

The changes described make sense to me, thanks.
I'm not convinced that "apport-noui" is right/makes sense (if you
install it and use the API to disable autoreporting you end up with the
package installed but the service no started which is inconsistent with
the definition) but it's a different
FTR, discussed with Brian, my proposed solution sounds to make sense, keeping
an unseeded apport-noui:
- have the systemd units (path and service) moved to apport binary package
- let apport-noui only touching/remove in maintainerscript script the
autoreport file (this is the same file created
It's not clear from the changelog/package history why -noui was a split
package. It does depends on "apport" so doesn't pull in less components, if
there is a config API and a way to use/not use the service I don't see the
point of splitting the binary, I would just merge it back with apport.

apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all
