```
This service failure might mislead user thinking that there is a problem.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Disable auto-reporting in the system setting
2. Produce a crash, e.g. by running divide-by-zero from chaos-marmosets
3. Check that apport-autoreport.service is failing as above
4. Upgrade Apport to the fixed version
5. Restart apport-autoreport.service
6. apport-autoreport.service should exit successfully
[ Where problems could occur ]
This code change touches the auto-reporting part. Failures there could lead to less bugs being forwarded to the error tracker. This might be noticeable when looking at the number of submissions. |
