Hi Tom, thanks you for the report. This bug is a(nother) duplicate of
bug #1889443 which is fixed in Ubuntu >= 22.04 (jammy). The fix is being
backported to Ubuntu 20.04 and I also plan to backport it to 18.04.

Apport did not get much attention in the last years (probably mostly due
to a lack of manpower), but I started working on it several month ago. I
tried to address the top occurring bugs (see
https://github.com/canonical/apport/blob/main/NEWS.md how many bugs were
fixed). Please report any remaining bugs with Apport that you find.

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
  ".
