[Bug 1729879] Re: apport-collect is still requesting python-apport installation

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.8-0ubuntu7

---------------
apport (2.20.8-0ubuntu7) bionic; urgency=medium

  * bin/apport-bug: recommend python3-apport not python-apport.
    (LP: #1729879)
  * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Convert the content of syslog from
    bytes to string so comparison and regex matches in the hook work. Thanks
    to Jean-Baptiste Lallement for the improved patch.  (LP: #1582950)
