Bug Description

[Test Case]
1) run /usr/share/apport/apportcheckresume
2) click show details
3) uncheck "Send an error report"
4) click continue
5) find susres.$DATE_$TIME.crash in /var/crash
6) view "Package: " line in it

With the version of apportcheckresume in Trusty you will notice that there is no package version number in the line, there is just a name (linux-image-1.2.3-generic). With the version from -proposed there will be a package version.

Original Report
---------------
The apportcheckresume code does not add the version of the linux package to the crash report in the Package field. This is fixed upstream with:

https://code.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/apport/kernel-package-version/+merge/217650

However, this is not fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 and should be but bug 1316841 needs to be fixed in conjunction with this fix. Otherwise the crashes won't be bucketed together.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.14.1-0ubuntu3.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.1

---------------
apport (2.14.1-0ubuntu3.1) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * Move error handling for invalid .crash files into collect_info(), so that
    it also applies when using the "Show Details..." button in the UI.
    Otherwise the UI just hangs eternally at this point when encountering
    broken core dumps. Cherry-picked from trunk r2789. (LP: #1282349)
  * Add kernel package version to the various kernel-related hooks. Thanks
    Brian Murray. Cherry-picked from trunk r2799. (LP: #1316845)
  * Add a duplicate signature to suspend resume failures. Thanks Brian Murray.
    Cherry-picked from trunk r2800. (LP: #1316841)
