[Bug 1778697] Re: update-notifier always present apport-gtk UI on crashes, even on autoreport mode

[Didier Roche]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Apport-gtk is currently always started, even when whoopsie is installed and set in auto or never report mode.
+ 
+ 
  This is a regression since we moved from upstart to a systemd service. apport-gtk UI is always started, even in autoreport mode.
  The file condition path for autoreport isn't in the systemd unit.
  This is also the case when never reporting is enabled.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ Test case 1:
+ 1. install new version of update-notifier and restart your session
+ 2. in g-c-c, set apport to always report errors
+ 3. generate a crash (coredump)
+ 4. wait a little, ensure no apport-gtk UI is started
+ 
+ Test case 2:
+ 1. in g-c-c, set apport to never report errors
+ 2. generate a crash (coredump)
+ 3. wait a little, ensure no apport-gtk UI is started
+ 
+ Test case 3:
+ 1. in g-c-c, set apport to manually report errors
+ 2. generate a crash (coredump)
+ 3. wait a little, ensure apport-gtk UI is started
+ 
+ Test case 4:
+ 1. in g-c-c, set apport to automatically or never report errors
+ 2. uninstalled whoopsie package
+ 3. generate a crash (coredump)
+ 4. wait a little, ensure apport-gtk UI is started
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ 
+ The patch hasn't many branch and only impact the "show apport-gtk" part.
+ Any regressions will be easily detected by the previous test cases.
