Bug Description
In bug #1661205 avahi-dameon repeatedly crashes, and causes apport to go into an infinite loop.
However I suspect this is a problem with apport, because when I manually unpack the .crash I get:
# apport-unpack /var/crash/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
pr.
File "/usr/lib/
[item for item, element in b64_block.items() if element is False])
ValueError: ['ProcEnviron', 'UserGroups'] has no binary content
Please find attached /var/crash/
