[Bug 1820132] Re: /usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all:AssertionError:/usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all at 162:collect_info:process_report:add_gdb_info:gdb_command

[Brian Murray]

apport does not depend on gdb so it's possible, even likely, that gdb is
not installed on the system reporting the crash. Subsequently,
report.add_gdb_info will fail and the docstring indicates that this
should "Raises ... OSError if calling gdb fails" however the docstring
is currently a liar perhaps because of a change I made. Regardless this
should be sorted out. Here's the Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all", line 162, in <module>
    stamps = collect_info()
  File "/usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all", line 112, in collect_info
    res = process_report(r)
  File "/usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all", line 79, in process_report
    r.add_gdb_info()
