Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
Some errors encountered when upgrading from one Ubuntu release to another are
not reported because of an improper call to apport.
[ Test Case ]
1) Create a file named /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/auf.cfg with the
following contents:
[Aufs]
RWDir=/nonexistent-mntpoint/
2) In a terminal run 'do-release-upgrade -d --sandbox'
3) Observe an "Invalid problem report" dialog box and a message saying that
"Package ubuntu-release-upgrader does not exist"
-----
In DistUpgradeController ubuntu-release-upgrader manually calls apport for
multiple failure cases using the following:
subprocess.Popen(["apport-bug", "ubuntu-release-upgrader"])
However, ubuntu-release-upgrader is a source package and not a binary
package like update-manager was. Because it is a source package it
fails an apport check (Package ubuntu-release-upgrader does not exist)
and no bug report is created.
