[Bug 2038650] Re: crash reports not sent to the Error Tracker

[Simon Chopin]

This was caused by the addition of this feature:
https://github.com/canonical/apport/pull/131

It broke an assumption that Dependencies was only added by the late
stage info collection, and said collection also had some other side-
effects that were relied upon to trigger the upload.

I'll create a hotfix patch for it this afternoon to unlock the
situation, and we'll work on a less fragile approach when Benjamin comes
back from PTO.

Title:
  crash reports not sent to the Error Tracker

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  From what I can tell when I click the send button to send a crash
  report to the Error Tracker the crash doesn't actually get sent. My
  testing process follows:

  1) Launch xeyes
  2) pkill -11 xeyes
  3) Click send in the apport dialog
  4) ls -lh /var/crash

  I would expect there to be three files in /var/crash:

  -rw-r----- 1 bdmurray whoopsie  3370567 Oct  6 11:53 _usr_bin_xeyes.1000.crash
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 bdmurray bdmurray        0 Oct  6 11:53 _usr_bin_xeyes.1000.upload
  -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie       37 Oct  6 11:53 _usr_bin_xeyes.1000.uploaded

  However, after step #4 I'm only seeing the .crash file and not a
  .upload or .uploaded.  I was able to get the .upload and .uploaded
  files created if I chose to "View Report" and then click "Send".

  It's worth noting though that I did notice the size of the .crash file
  increase after clicking "Send" so some post-processing was done.
