[Bug 1722801] Re: apport isn't started on new installs

[Brian Murray]

There is no apport.init in the debian directory by adding a symlink for
that to etc/init.d/apport I was able to get a postinst with:

# Automatically added by dh_installinit/10.7.2ubuntu2
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ]; then
        if [ -x "/etc/init.d/apport" ]; then
                update-rc.d apport defaults >/dev/null
                invoke-rc.d apport start || true
        fi
fi
# End automatically added section

Title:
  apport isn't started on new installs

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  with this version:

  root at cosmic-terrapin:~# apt policy apport
  apport:
    Installed: 2.20.7-0ubuntu2
    Candidate: 2.20.7-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 2.20.7-0ubuntu2 500
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  the rc*.d links aren't installed

  root at cosmic-terrapin:~# ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*apport*
  ls: cannot access '/etc/rc*.d/*apport*': No such file or directory

  which means that apport isn't started, so it doesn't set up the
  core_pattern.

  on zesty, it seems good
