Hello errors.ubuntu.com, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.9-0ubuntu7.4 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 for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
   * The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding apport.  This problem was most recently seen with package version 2.20.10-0ubuntu5, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/64f362ed27e5f6069d78b02c2cbca5c09fcc19ee
   * The theory is that those crashes are trigger by reports generated (but not send) pre apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.3. They don't hafe thus the "remember" key, and thus, the new apport, when reporting, is crashing.
   * We now ignore if the key isn't present and just consider the answer as "false", which is a no-op.

  [Test Case]
   * Install apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.1
   * Generate a crash but don't report it.
   * Upgrade to apport apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.3
   * Report this crash.
     -> No apport crash should be triggered

  [Regression Potential]
   * We are doing a python2 compatible try/except to ignore the KeyError which was the regression. It doesn't seem it can trigger other regressions.
