Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

The post install script for apport tries to call "/etc/init.d/apport start" however, it apport is already running this fails causing the package install to fail.
Simply calling "/etc/init.d/apport stop" first would fix this.

   * apport: Reset signal handler to SIG_IGN in the crash signal handler, to
     avoid an endless crash/handler loop (noticed during debugging LP#61708).
   * debian/apport.init: Do not let the script run with set -e, so that
     do_{start,stop} can deliver their return codes for proper evaluation,
     instead of immediately existing. Closes: LP#61796
   * test-apport: Check that SIGQUIT does not generate a report. (Check for
     bug #62511).
   * apport: Ignore SIGQUIT. Closes: LP#62511
