[Bug 2112464] Re: /usr/share/apport/apport:PermissionError:/usr/share/apport/apport at 610:consistency_checks: : [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'exe'

[Benjamin Drung]

Thousands of reports for 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.28 and 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.7.

A few hundreds for the security regression fix 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.29 and
2.20.11-0ubuntu82.8.

The amount of daily reports went down after the security regression fix.
