sosreport does not collect sources.list information for apt

[Louis Bouchard]

SRU justification :
Those files are required for proper diagnostics

Impact :
Without those files, it is not possible to identify which archive is being used

Fix :
Add collection for the /etc/apt/* & /var/log/apt/*

Test Case :
Run the following :
$ sosreport --batch

Then extract the content of the archive produced. Files that were in /etc/apt and /var/log/apt will be present in the archive.

Regression :
None, new plugin is created

Upstream fix identified in comment #2

Sponsored upload part of SRU for LP: #1296755

Original description of the problem :
when running sosreport on Ubuntu, nothing from /etc/apt directory tree is collected, hence it is impossible to know what software archive is in use

Could we get this addressed in precise ? Please
My customer is about to rebuild there master image to include sosreport and it would be nice to have apt collection.

Cheers

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
