** Description changed:

+ [Description]
+ Users receive warnings about importing of python modules with a version being specified.  While this isn't a big deal in itself we get lots of bug reports from people about this issue since it is so obvious.  Given that Ubuntu 16.04 is an LTS release we should fix this and prevent further reporting of the issue.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) run /usr/share/apport-gtk in a terminal
+ 2) Observe the following
+ 
+ /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
+   from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
+ /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: GdkX11 was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('GdkX11', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
+   from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
+ 
+ with the version of apport in -proposed you'll no longer receive the
+ warning.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ As with any SRU this could cause a regression in the software if the fix is typo'ed so review it carefully.  If there isn't a typo and then the chance of a regression is very very very low.
