This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.10-0ubuntu1 --------------- apport (2.20.10-0ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium
* New upstream release: - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: when using a permanent sandbox better check for the package being already available thereby reducing quantity of downloads. - apport/report.py: Use timeout parameter in subprocess to limit how long we'll wait for gdb to return information as gdb can hang with some core files. - data/apport: Fix PEP8 issues - apport/ui.py: Include ProblemType in reports which are updated as package hooks may expect the report to have a ProblemType. (LP: #1766794) - test/test_ui.py: modify run_crash_kernel test to account for the fact that linux-image-$kvers-$flavor is now built from the linux-signed source package on amd64 and ppc64el. (LP: #1766740) * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix UnicodeDecodeError when processing DpkgTerminalLog. (LP: #1766337) * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Don't display a messy error if python or python3 is not installed. (LP: #1769262) * debian/apport.links: source_linux-signed.py -> source_linux.py package hook (LP: #1766740) * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Redirect bugs filed about the linux-signed source package to linux.
