This was a deliberate decision from the foundations team. python-
launchpadlib is not yet available for python 3, so apport-collect has to
use python 2 still. But as apport-collect is not required for core
desktop operations, only for the rather advanced task (from the
perspective of a user of a stable release) of following up to Launchpad
bug reports, we just added the error message which points out that you
need to install it manually. See the changelog:
apport (2.2.1-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low
[...]
* Move to Python 3, except for the parts that need python-launchpadlib
(which is not yet available for Python 3):
- debian/control: Add python3-problem-report and python3-apport packages.
- debian/control: Switch build and binary dependencies to Python 3
equivalents, except for apport-retrace.
- debian/rules: Override dh_auto_* to also handle python3-* packages (see
Debian #597105).
- debian/rules: Run test suite with Python 3.
- debian/rules: Switch hashbang line of apport-retrace back to Python 2.
- Move /etc/apport/crashdb.conf from python-apport to apport, and
recommend apport from both python{,3}-apport.
* bin/apport-bug: Force running with python 2 when being invoked as
apport-collect, and add a check/error message that you need to install
python-apport to use this.
