this was never fixed, apport needs to create the dir from postinst or ship it in debian/apport.dirs, writable-paths only works with existing directories by design, so the change to lxc-android-config was a no-op.
additionally there are also the lines: env MATCH=NULL [ "$MATCH" = NULL ] && exit 0 in the apport-noui.conf job, so it would always exit anyway. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235436 Title: /etc/init/apport-noui.conf is non-functional on the phone Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've uploaded a fix to upstart for bug #1235387, but /etc/init/apport- noui.conf in the apport-noui package still doesn't work here. There's no /etc/apport/autoreport in the image, so it fails on the first line of the script: [ -e /etc/apport/autoreport ] || exit 0 Apparently further integration work is needed. The job is also structured quite confusingly, with an 'instance' that means the job will be launched once for each file found in /var/crash - even though the command it runs is called /usr/share/apport /whoopsie-upload-*all*. So we'll get multiple copies of this running in parallel the first time it successfully triggers. I suspect this may result in multiple submissions, as whoopsie sees the .upload stamp updated? In any case, I don't see the point of having this as a separate upstart job from whoopsie at all. whoopsie is already monitoring the /var/crash directory with inotify; it should just check /etc/apport/autoreport itself (or maybe this should be /etc/whoopsie/autoreport?), and if present, monitor the .crash files directly.
