[Bug 1787729] Re: apport-autoreport.service fails if whoopsie isn't running

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ 1) install apport-noui
+ 2) sudo service apport stop
+ 3) modify /usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all to exit(1) thereby recreating the situation where whoopsie isn't running. I did this by copying lines 159,160 to 161,162 and unindenting them. N.B. this isn't necessary if you are on a system where whoopsie is starting after apport.
+ 4) touch /var/crash/my.crash
+ 5) reboot
+ 5) run 'systemctl status apport-autoreport.service' and observe it failed because whoopsie isn't running
+ 
+ When testing the proposed version of apport you'll want to revert the
+ changes you made to whoopsie-upload-all. With the version of apport from
+ -proposed you should no longer see the failure message for the apport-
+ autoreport.service.
+ 
+ Regression Potential
+ --------------------
+ We are clearly fixing something that was a mistake in the original service so there is little chance for regression.

  2) sudo service apport stop
  3) modify /usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all to exit(1) thereby recreating the situation where whoopsie isn't running. I did this by copying lines 159,160 to 161,162 and unindenting them. N.B. this isn't necessary if you are on a system where whoopsie is starting after apport.
  4) touch /var/crash/my.crash
  5) reboot
  5) run 'systemctl status apport-autoreport.service' and observe it failed because whoopsie isn't running

  When testing the proposed version of apport you'll want to revert the
  changes you made to whoopsie-upload-all. With the version of apport
  from -proposed you should no longer see the failure message for the
  apport-autoreport.service.
