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

[Steve Langasek]

Hello John, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  apport-collect doesn't create a ProblemType in the report

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
