** Description changed:

  Apport doesn't work for UME right now due to special casing of the
  unionfs mount points.  It probably also doesn't work for apps installed
  from a live CD as it doesn't handle the read-write mount point either.
  
  This is fixed in the bzr tree for apport in Ubuntu.  The fix was to
  process a list of mount points and add the missing mount points to it.
  The proposed solution of parsing /proc/mounts was deemed too intrusive.
  The proper fix is to fix unionfs in l-u-m.
  
  TEST CASE:
- * For UME: install and enable apport, crash any app e.g. "bash -c 'kill -SEGV 
$$'", notice that no crash dump is created
- * For the live CD: enable apport, install a new package, start and kill the 
app with SEGV as above, notive that no crash dump is created
- * Alternatively, run "/usr/share/apport/testsuite/test-apport kernel"
+ * For UME: install and enable apport, crash any app e.g. "bash -c 'kill -SEGV 
$$'", ls /var/crash and notice that no crash dump is created
+ * For the live CD: enable apport, install a new package, start and kill the 
app with SEGV as above, ls /var/crash and notice that no crash dump is created
+ * Alternatively, run "/usr/share/apport/testsuite/test-apport kernel"; 
testsuite should fail
  
  To enable apport, edit /etc/default/apport, set enabled=1, run
  /etc/init.d/apport start.
  
  Potential regressions: no particular regression in sight.
