[Steve Langasek]

Hello errors.ubuntu.com, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into kinetic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.23.1-0ubuntu3.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
kinetic to verification-done-kinetic. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-kinetic. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Kinetic)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

Title:
  /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:TypeError:/usr/share/apport/apport-
  gtk at 596:__init__

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Kinetic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Impact
  ======

  The Apport GUI will not start if the apport/apport-gtk/apport-kde
  package is older than 2.23.1 but python3-apport was upgraded to >=
  2.23.1. ubuntu-bug will crash:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 596, in <module>
      app = GTKUserInterface()
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 56, in __init__
      apport.ui.UserInterface.__init__(self)
  TypeError: UserInterface.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'argv'

  The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding apport.  This problem was most recently seen with package version 2.23.1-0ubuntu3, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/feb7fb0f8e0c34715dc6cf742f9d16824c977662 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
  If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/.

  Test Plan
  =========

  1. Install apport from jammy:
  ```
  sudo apt install apport/jammy apport-gtk/jammy python3-apport/jammy python3-problem-report/jammy
  ```
  2. Upgrade python3-apport:
  ```
  sudo apt install python3-apport/kinetic-proposed
  ```
  3. Launch apport-bug:
  ```
  apport-bug
  ```

  All four apport package should be upgraded and apport-bug should
  launch without problems.

  Where problems could occur
  ==========================

  The added Breaks will affect how APT handles the packages and could
  trigger/reveal bug there or could put pressure on APT finding a
  solution.
