The proposal to merge ~r41k0u/ubuntu/+source/apport:fix-teamviewer-crashing-gdb into ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/apport:ubuntu/devel has been updated.

Commit message changed to:

apport: Add Teamviewer to report-ignore

etc/apport/report-ignore/ignore-teamviewer - add Teamviewer to crash
blacklist to prevent a GDB crash and false reports

TeamViewer ships its custom libicudata.so which has no .text section.
A TeamViewer crash requires apport to run GDB, which crashes due to
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168767.html.
This creates false GDB crash reports, which are actually TeamViewer
crashes. As the library causing this is not shipped by us, it is best
to ignore these crashes (given in the last comment of the following
bug discussion)
Fixes (LP: #2041830)
