In Kinetic virtual machine,
Installed chromium-browser, apport-bug --save x1 chromium-browser.
Installed chromium-browser from proposed, apport-bug --save x2
chromium-browser.
Then compared the files (attached) with vimdiff.
Indeed, the meaningful differences were in the Snap.Info.xxxx sections,
namely:
- Snap.Info.core18 -> Snap.Info.core20
- {None} -> Snap.Info.cups
- {None} -> Snap.Info.gnome-3-38-2004
Differences were not be observed in
Snap.Info.{chromium,core,gtk-common-themes}.

apport hook that collects snap's information is outdated

Bug description:
Impact
------
The Apport hook of the Chromium browser is outdated. It collects
information about core18, but the snap uses core20.
Moreover, it does not collect information about other interface
providers.
Test plan
---------
1. Install the current chromium-browser.
2. Generate a report with
apport-bug --save /tmp/c1 chromium-browser
3. Install chromium-browser from proposed.
4. Generate another report with
apport-bug --save /tmp/c2 chromium-browser
Note: If the package was built and generated locally, you will need
APPORT_DISABLE_DISTRO_CHECK=1 in the environment.
5. Compare the files. The meaningful differences should be in the
Snap.Info.xxxx sections, namely:
- Snap.Info.core18 -> Snap.Info.core20
- {None} -> Snap.Info.cups
- {None} -> Snap.Info.gnome-3-38-2004
Differences should not be observed in Snap.Info.{chromium,core,gtk-
common-themes}.
Regression potential
--------------------
Being Apport a bug reporting program, an incorrect parsing of the
SNAP_META file could lead to insertion of unwanted information in the
report or to suppress the insertion of information about the relevant
interfaces.
Original report
---------------
See https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-
browser/groovy-stable/view/head:/debian/apport/chromium-
browser.py#L59.
It collects information about core18, but the chromium snap was
rebased on core20 almost a year ago.
