This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.8-0ubuntu7 --------------- apport (2.20.8-0ubuntu7) bionic; urgency=medium
* bin/apport-bug: recommend python3-apport not python-apport. (LP: #1729879) * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Convert the content of syslog from bytes to string so comparison and regex matches in the hook work. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement for the improved patch.
