apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected jammy ubiquity-22.04.8 wayland-session

** Description changed:

  I installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 on a disk that contained 16.04.
  During the installation I selected "Overwrite 16.04" (it was named similarly).
  The installation worked fine except for one thing:
  
  The swap partition of 16.04 was not deleted, even though Ubuntu 22.04
  uses a swap file and not a swap partition. So the swap partition wastes
  disk space.
  
  The problem description probably applies to all Ubuntu versions (or
  Linux distributions?) that include a swap partition (hint: does an LTS
  upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 keep the swap partition from 16.04?).
