Title:
  apport-unpack crashed with ValueError in extract_keys():
  ['ProcEnviron'] has no binary content

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sometimes apport creates a crash file with an empty field for
  'ProcEnviron'. In that situation, I want to be able to continue
  extracting fields from the crash file rather than aborting.

  Workaround is to add some made up values for ProcEnviron in the crash file, such as " LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  ".
