[Bug 1749222] Re: apport-collect requires python2

[Brian Murray]

I believe this is correct and not fixable because apport-collect uses
launchpadlib and on Ubuntu 16.04 it needs to use python-launchpadlib,
not python3-launchpadlib, because of some bugs in launchpadlib or its
dependencies that were not fixed in Ubuntu 16.04. See bug 1153671 for
details.

Title:
  apport-collect requires python2

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm booted into a 16.04 maas rescue environment.

  $ apport-collect
  You need to run 'sudo apt-get install python-apport' for apport-collect to work.

  running the provided command will get me a python2 stack.
  python3-apport is already installed.

  python3 should be used.

  I then tried a stock bionic container, and run the same.  The message
  changes to suggest python3-apport.

  You need to run 'sudo apt-get install python3-apport' for apport-collect to work.

  That seems better.  However, python3-apport is already installed.
  # sudo apt-get install python3-apport

  python3-apport is already the newest version (2.20.8-0ubuntu8).
