** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
  The system tests test_retrace_system_sandbox and
  test_retrace_jammy_sandbox fail on arm64, ppc64el, s390x, because
  apport-retrace is killed by the OOM killer. Example:
  
  autopkgtest kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 3597 (apport-retrace)
  total-vm:1512420kB, anon-rss:1241460kB, file-rss:2592kB, shmem-rss:0kB,
  UID:0 pgtables:2554kB oom_score_adj:0
  
  Log: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-oracular-bdrung-
  apport/oracular/s390x/a/apport/20240722_145904_d3c2f@/log.gz
  
  apport-retrace should be able to retrace crashes without needing
  multiple gigabytes of memory.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ Check that the autopkgtest is run successfully on all architectures
+ (except for riscv64 which hasn't been successful in the past, see bug
+ #2159030).
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The change is in the code that handles retracing problem reports. It
+ could cause breaking retracing them. I could also affect user that try
+ to retrace the crash locally.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ This SRU addresses a big number of bugs, because it addresses the
+ several bugs that causes the autopkgtest to fail or fail under certain
+ conditions. I also bundled the fixes around reporting/retracing the bugs
+ reports that we found after modernizing the retracing infrastructure.
