Public bug reported:
I split all my repos nicely in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ files. apport
breaks in that case.
I assume this could easily be fixed with os.path.exists().
The workaround of creating an empty /etc/apt/sources.list works fine, but
that's incompatible with my OCD.
That's obviously what I did to be able to file this bug. Here's the traceback
without:
