apport-bug crashes (Kununtu)

[ralphb]

Starting apport-bug from the terminal and then selecting "Sound/audio related problems" crashes apport-bug:

cassiopeia ~ > apport-bug
ERROR: symptom script /usr/share/apport/symptoms/installer.py crashed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 95, in thread_collect_info
    package = symb['run'](report, ui)
  File "/usr/share/apport/symptoms/installer.py", line 9, in run
    with os.scandir('/var/log/installer') as entries:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/installer'

Of course, I never was able to submit ANY bug using apport-bug, because it does not work for other options either.

As to why there is no /var/log/installer: I installed from a USB stick into a fully encrypted system, so that /var/log/installer file was on the sticks' memory file system, but not in the encrypted filesystem.

This bug was fixed in the package apport-symptoms - 0.24

---------------
apport-symptoms (0.24) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Resolve crash when /var/log/installer does not exist. (LP: #1899354)
