Title:
  apport-autoreport.service fails if whoopsie isn't running

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  If automatic crash reporting is enabled and apport-autoreport.service starts 
before whoopsie on boot then crash reports that happened during shutdown or 
start up will not be automatically uploaded to the error tracker.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) install apport-noui
  2) sudo service apport stop
  3) modify /usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all to exit(1) thereby recreating 
the situation where whoopsie isn't running. I did this by copying lines 159,160 
to 161,162 and unindenting them. N.B. this isn't necessary if you are on a 
system where whoopsie is starting after apport.
  4) touch /var/crash/my.crash
  5) reboot
  5) run 'systemctl status apport-autoreport.service' and observe it failed 
because whoopsie isn't running

  When testing the proposed version of apport you'll want to revert the
  changes you made to whoopsie-upload-all. With the version of apport
  from -proposed you should no longer see the failure message for the
  apport-autoreport.service. The best test case is just having an
  affected system test the package from -proposed though.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  We are clearly fixing something that was a mistake in the original service so 
there is little chance for regression.
