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.

  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.
