Thanks for replying so quickly. Unfortunately step 1 didn't show any crash reports.

Step 2 doesn't show anything recent, but there were crashes on January 6 that might be relevant. They are:

gnome-control-center: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/28c05820-501b-11eb-9503-fa163e983629
gnome-shell: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/16d604a2-501b-11eb-8b96-fa163e6cac46

Just to be clear, is the workaround from step 3 simply "comment out line 23 from /etc/apport/crashdb.conf and reboot"? There are a lot of other suggestion in that bug report and I wanted to doublecheck that that's all I need to do.

As for reproducing the crash, it's probably impossible to exactly reproduce it since it only happens when I'm running `apt upgrade` to install new packages, and these particular new packages have already been upgraded. The best I can do is make the change, reboot, and wait for it to happen again with some new set of packages.
