[Bug 2096327] Re: apport cannot upload blobs to launchpad (X-Launchpad-Blob-Token missing from http response)

[Alistair Buxton]

The problem seems to affect every version of apport across all current
releases and started happening to all of them at the same time. This can
only mean that the problem is with the launchpad side of things.
Therefore adding it to affected projects.

** Changed in: launchpad
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- apport cannot upload blobs to launchpad (X-Launchpad-Blob-Token missing from http response)
+ apport cannot upload blobs to launchpad - X-Launchpad-Blob-Token missing from http response -> "assert ticket"

Bug description:
  The tale is slightly convoluted. After doing an "apt upgrade"
  yesterday, xsane and simple-scan started failing: scanner detected,
  but could not scan. Trying to report it with ubuntu-bug then crashed
  with the following error:

  $ sudo ubuntu-bug simple-scan

  This is a blocker for me.
