This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.3
---------------
apport (2.20.9-0ubuntu7.3) bionic; urgency=medium
[ Didier Roche ]
* Add a remember option to whoopsie so that users can diminish
crash interactions (LP: #1778497)
* Move apport autoreport service files to apport binary package.
Having them in apport-noui was creating a bug where autoreport
wasn't working on desktop. As we check in the launched script
for whoopsie and autoreport file, we don't autoreport by default.
(LP: #1778694)
apport-noui still touches the file to enable autoreport on install.
* Remove upstart service and watershed dependency.
* Assume if no whoopsie that crash reporting is enabled:
As the old configuration that was a whoopsie configuration file that was
that was never updated by the whoopsie API, we assume that no
whoopsie installed (not the default) == manual send report is allowed.
If people want to disable crash reporting:
- get whoopsie installed and disable crash reporting in g-c-c
- uninstall apport
[ Brian Murray ]
* Start apport-autoreport after installing apport-noui which is part of
improving apport's automatic crash reporing feature. (LP: #1778694)

Title:
In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences API, reports are not sent
by whoopsie
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where
whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui
to be installed, which we don't by default.
apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part
of apport binary package).
We should move the unit to apport package itself.
[ Test Case ]
* Install the new apport package from proposed
* Set in g-c-c, privacy panel, to report bugs automatically
* Make one program dumping a core dump
* Wait for a while, you should have a .upload and .uploaded files in addition
to the .crash one in /var/crash
[ Regression potential ]
The systemd units were in apport-noui previously, we moved them and made them
conditional to whoopsie being installed.
apport-noui is still useful by turning autoreport on, so people upgrading
shouldn't have any impact or difference.
The units have been renamed to make sense and avoid package files overwrite.
-------------------------
There are 2 possible solutions:
- promoting apport-noui to main, and seeding it.
- or considering there is no reason anymore to have a separate apport-noui
pacakge (no more phone factor), and so move the systemd units to apport, having
a conditional file on whoopsie installed (no more dependency) and autoreport
enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to
apport-autoreport.*) directly.
