[Bug 1766794] Re: apport-collect doesn't create a ProblemType in the report

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

  Running 'sudo apport-collect BUGID' on 18.04 and then selecting 'V: View
  report' results in Tracebacks.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) ssh to a system running bionic
+ 2) run apport-collect 1766787
+ 3) say yes that you want to update a bug report that isn't yours
+ 4) Choose to view the report
+ 5) Observe the following Traceback
+ 
+ ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/generic.py crashed:
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 198, in _run_hook
+     symb['add_info'](report, ui)
+   File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/generic.py", line 90, in add_info
+     if report['ProblemType'] == 'Crash':
+   File "/usr/lib/python3.6/collections/__init__.py", line 991, in __getitem__
+     raise KeyError(key)
+ KeyError: 'ProblemType'
+ 
+ With the version of the package from -proposed you will not see the
+ Traceback.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The change is just to stop removing the ProblemType from the created report so there really isn't a chance of a regression.
