apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.29 from bionic-security only fixed one test issue
on amd64. There are still many test issues on other architectures for
bionic.

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Bionic)

Status in apport source package in Bionic:
  New
Status in apport source package in Focal:

Status in apport source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  All autopkgtest fail on Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) and older: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/apport
  This leads to not detecting regressions from security updates.

  [Test Plan]

  Check that the autopkgtest succeed all architectures (except for
  i386).

  [Where problems could occur]

  The test cases are only part of the apport source package and are not
  copied in any binary packages. Changes to the test will only affect
  the package build and test execution.

  [Other info]

  Due to the huge amount of broken autopkgtest tests, the diff for the
  SRUs are bigger than desired. The individual commits in
  https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/apport/ are
  probably easier to review.
