[Bug 1656599] [NEW] Package sane-backends not installed and no hook available, ignoring

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Public bug reported:

What happens is that when folks run apport-collect against a report with sane-backends, this fails as per below:
apport-collect 1643544
Package sane-backends not installed and no hook available, ignoring

This is despite folks having the constituent packages of sane-backends
installed.

Example bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1643544

While this isn't a show stopper, it would be nice if this was resolved
to prevent problems of problems, and avoid confusing folks.

** Affects: apport (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Low
         Status: Triaged
