[Bug 1654479] Re: Disabling 'Report to Canonical: App crashes and errors' sets wrong core_pattern

[Pat McGowan]

This is set per the fix for lp:1505302 but that also sets suid_dumpable
to 0. The core pattern seems moot in that case?

  Disabling 'Report to Canonical: App crashes and errors' sets wrong
  core_pattern

Bug description:
  Disabling 'Report to Canonical: App crashes and errors' sets wrong
  core_pattern.

  On a fresh boot with error reporting disabled by default:
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern 
  /bad_core_pattern

  Enable 'Report to Canonical: App crashes and errors':
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern 
  |/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %P

  Disable 'Report to Canonical: App crashes and errors':
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern 
  core

  I think it should be reverting to "/bad_core_pattern" instead of
  "core". Because "core" could fill the filesystem with core files (if
  ulimit allows it).
