Public bug reported: After this morning's upgrade to "whoopsie 0.2.62ubuntu0.2" plus "libwhoopsie0 0.2.62ubuntu0.2"(fix to bug #1830865), whoopsie repeatedly crashes with a segfault (in what seems to be libc?). An excerpt from /var/log/syslog (slightly redacted):

The above sequence of logged events repeats endlessly, with only(?) the times and whoospie PID changing. The problem can be (temporarily) stopped by `service whoopsie stop'; using `service whoopsie start' resumes the above behaviour. Rebooting does not "fix". Manually running whoopsie shows the same behaviour: $ sudo /bin/sh -c 'export CRASH_DB_URL=https://daisy.ubuntu.com; exec whoopsie -f' [09:45:14] Using lock path: /var/lock/whoopsie/lock [09:45:14] The default IPv4 route is: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1 [09:45:14] Not a paid data plan: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1 [09:45:14] Found usable connection: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1 [09:45:14] Parsing /var/crash/_usr_bin_kdeinit5.1000.crash.
