[Regression Potential] The new code only affects executables that start with '/snap/bin' so the only danger is if the newly added code contains an error which would cause a traceback. Original Report --------------- apport's ui.py file contains the following code: 809 # executable? 810 elif '/' in self.args[0]: 811 pkg = apport.packaging.get_file_package(self.args[0]) 812 if not pkg: 813 optparser.error('%s does not belong to a package.' % self.args[0]) 814 sys.exit(1) 815 self.args = [] 816 self.options.filebug = True 817 self.options.package = pkg This will not provide any useful information about what to do if the 'executable' is provided by a snap. Information similar to https://code.launchpad.net/~juliank/ubuntu/bionic/apport/snap/+merge/342207 should be provided if the path is from a snap.
