Bug Description
Whenever I attempt to run "apport-collect -p firefox" and then put in a bug report ID, the apport collection runs, but then crashes with the following:
ERROR: hook /usr/share/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
symb[
File "/usr/share/
if (profile.current or profile.default) and profile.
File "/usr/share/
is_nightly = re.sub(
File "/usr/lib/
return _compile(pattern, flags).sub(repl, string, count)
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object
As a result, apport is unable to collect certain kinds of information.
This can be reproduced by simply running apport-collect for firefox (the ubuntu default version)
