[Bug 919956] Re: apport doesn't function for various pacakges -- breaking with python errors

[Martin Pitt]

#   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash nomodeset”

It's the fancy quotes which are not ASCII, and make Python 2 trip. As
most of Apport uses Python 3 these days, it's not a biggie, but apport-
collect is still python2 (due to missing python3-launchpadlib), so we
should fix this.

** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => grub2 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- apport doesn't function for various pacakges -- breaking with python errors
+ Apport hook breaks with Pyhton2 due to non-ASCII character
