Bug Description

I was trying to test the alternate paths in run_apport of DistUpgradeApport.py and was setting RELEASE_UPRADER_NO_APPORT=1 but this seemed to have no effect. I tested this upgrading from utopic to vivid and from trusty to utopic.

I examined os.environ right before the failure I'd created (a divide by 0 error in DistUpgradeController.py) and that key existed, so it seems like DistUpgradeApport or the call to it is unsetting that variable somehow.

Duh, it's because only run_apport checks for that environmental variable and apport_crash() and apport_pkgfailure() don't.

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:15.04.11) vivid; urgency=medium

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeApport.py: check to see if
    RELEASE_UPRADER_NO_APPORT is set when running apport_crash or
    apport_pkgfailure. (LP: #1399836)
