[Bug 2101906] Re: Apport apparently hung while gathering information for another crash. CPU time was logged at around 20hrs+ when I found out.

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and contributing to
Ubuntu. We had similar reports in the past, but never got down to the
reason.

Can you attach /var/crash/_usr_share_apport_apport.0.crash and
/var/crash/_usr_bin_apport-cli.0.crash to this bug report (after
checking that there are no sensitive information inside)?

Title:
  Apport apparently hung while gathering information for another crash.
  CPU time was logged at around 20hrs+ when I found out.

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This machine has been generating a lot of crashes (sorry for all of
  the uploads...) including apport its self, but hopefully the
  information collected here is able to narrow down what's going on.

  
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
  Release:        20.04

  $ apt-cache policy apport

  Expected to happen: apport does its work in a timely manner then exits.

  What appeared to happen: apport had hung/entered a loop which at the
  time I found it, with above twenty hours of CPU time. Unfortunately I
  can't offer any other information about the circumstances or why
  apport had entered this state besides what was captured by apport on
  its self.
