[Bug 1617080] Re: update-manager apport package hook should gather HWE information

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into trusty-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:0.196.20 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  Sometimes systems can have a hard time installing the HWE
  replacements,
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/fc13839a8f16399991b1e1907d410c7f161d7fc9,
  it'd be helpful if apport were to gather information about what HWE
  packages are installed and which HWE replacement packages are
  recommended.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Run ubuntu-bug update-manager
  2) Observe there are no HWE fields in the report

  With the version of update-manager from -proposed you'll now see
  HWEunsupported (the output of hwe-support-status --show-all-
  unsupported) and HWEreplacements (the output of hwe-support-status
  --show-replacements).  If you are running the -lts-xenial stack these
  may be empty.
