It appears that apport now requires the whoopsie package to be
installed, but it is not an actual package dependency.
Diagnosis:
Following bug #997283 (Apport no longer uploads bugs to Launchpad), I
noticed that I do not have whoopsie installed. I ran wireshark and
apport-bug to see if any data was actually being transferred. It wasn't,
even though 'echo $?' showed the exit status as success.
I then installed whoopsie and repeated the test. This time, data was
transferred to 91.189.88.133 which appears to be
eth0.chenet.canonical.com.
Can I conclude that apport now requires whoopsie?
$ apt-cache rdepends whoopsie
whoopsie
Reverse Depends:
whoopsie:i386
activity-log-manager-control-center:i386
activity-log-manager-control-center:i386
ubuntu-desktop
activity-log-manager-control-center
activity-log-manager-control-center
I am not running ubuntu-desktop, so I don't have whoopsie installed. If
apport requires whoopsie to function, then it should be listed as a
direct dependency.
