running apport in terminal doesn't work, as python3-launchpadlib is not installed by default in Lubuntu Bionic

[Ken T]

[Impact]

People can't use Apport without this. This is a very big issue for Lubuntu users, because we need crash reports.

[Test Case]

Run `apport-collect <BUG #>` in a terminal.

It should succeed, but instead, it asks for a python3-launchpadlib dependency.

[Regression Potential]

Very unlikely, unless apport or python3-launchpadlib breaks (which is not a problem of ours anyway).

[Original Bug Description]

Tried to append some data to another launchpad bug report by running "apport-collect <Bug number>" in terminal.

Got the following error message:
"(apport-gtk:17860): dbind-WARNING **: 22:15:17.563: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files
ERROR: The python3-launchpadlib package is not installed. This functionality is not available.
"

I'd suggest that this package should be installed by default.

Thanks,
Ken.

Next bump of lubuntu-meta should be the fix.

Hello Ken, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lubuntu-meta into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/0.94.1 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 on 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-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

With a fresh Bionic VM, I enabled proposed, updated, upgraded to 0.94.1 of lubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-gtk-core and lubuntu-gtk-desktop and everything worked fine.

Not having crash reports is rather critical indeed. Since this is only a dependency change of a package that should have been a dependency, I approve of an early release of this package to bionic-updates.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package lubuntu-meta - 0.94.1

---------------
lubuntu-meta (0.94.1) bionic; urgency=high

  * Refreshed dependencies
  * Added python3-launchpadlib to core, core-gtk, core-qt (LP: #1764399)
