Title:
  apport truncates UdevDb DEVLINKS value

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Apport has support for anonymizing filesystems names when collecting
  the udev database. To do so, it performs text substitutions in lines
  that have "by-label":

  S: disk/by-label/john-doe-rootfs
  S: disk/by-label/<hidden>

  Unfortunately, the text substitution has a side effect when applied to
  the DEVLINKS property. It effectively truncates the property after the
  first occurrence of "by-label":

  E: DEVLINKS=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-partuuid/2722bff2-40ac-47e6-8025-5b7889adb69a
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part1 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-partnum/1
   /dev/disk/by-uuid/e6134f84-e3eb-4ae4-8c43-959b9740bd3e
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-uuid/e6134f84-e3eb-4ae4-8c43-959b9740bd3e
   /dev/disk/by-path/virtio-pci-0000:00:04.0-part1
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-label/john-doe-rootfs
   /dev/disk/by-label/john-doe-rootfs
   /dev/disk/by-diskseq/9-part1
   /dev/disk/by-partuuid/2722bff2-40ac-47e6-8025-5b7889adb69a

  Currently results in the following after applying the text
  substitutions:

  E: DEVLINKS=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-partuuid/2722bff2-40ac-47e6-8025-5b7889adb69a
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part1
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-partnum/1
   /dev/disk/by-uuid/e6134f84-e3eb-4ae4-8c43-959b9740bd3e
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-uuid/e6134f84-e3eb-4ae4-8c43-959b9740bd3e
   /dev/disk/by-path/virtio-pci-0000:00:04.0-part1
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-label/<hidden>

  and I would expect the following instead:

  E: DEVLINKS=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-partuuid/2722bff2-40ac-47e6-8025-5b7889adb69a
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part1
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-partnum/1
   /dev/disk/by-uuid/e6134f84-e3eb-4ae4-8c43-959b9740bd3e
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-uuid/e6134f84-e3eb-4ae4-8c43-959b9740bd3e
   /dev/disk/by-path/virtio-pci-0000:00:04.0-part1
   /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-part/by-label/<hidden>
   /dev/disk/by-label/<hidden>
   /dev/disk/by-diskseq/9-part1
   /dev/disk/by-partuuid/2722bff2-40ac-47e6-8025-5b7889adb69a
