Jörn Heissler, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) Regarding not using apport, one may disable it as per: cat /etc/default/apport # set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it # you can temporarily override this with # sudo service apport start force_start=1 enabled=1 2) Regarding apport not working, feel free to file a report about this against the apport package via the following terminal command and include the details of the Traceback: ubuntu-bug apport 3) Regarding removing the dependency, it likely won't be removed as a dependency due to how apport is a vital function for Ubuntu developers to gather and process crash logs automatically. Given it may be disabled as per above, a compelling case (wider impact positives and negatives) to have apport removed as a dependency hasn't been provided. Despite this, while this is being marked Won't Fix, the discussion may still continue. If this change is no longer of interest to you, feel free to mark the Status Invalid. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773087 Title: don't depend on python3-apport To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1773087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
