[Bug 1068874] Re: does not need to enable apport

[Brian Murray]

Well while it is true that the ubuntu-release-upgrader does not need to
able apport in the stable release it does somehow need to tell apport to
send crash reports again.

In the stable release the following is set in /etc/apport/crashdb.conf:

        'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Which won't allow crashes to be reported.

Title:
  does not need to enable apport

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  As of Precise apport is always running, it just doesn't send all
  crashes to bugs.launchpad.net, so the distribution upgrade process
  does not need to start it.

  so this:

      def doDistUpgrade(self):
          # check if we want apport running during the upgrade
          if self.config.getWithDefault("Distro","EnableApport", False): 
              self.enableApport()

  and enableApport in DistUpgradeController.py aren't really necessary.
