Comment 1 for bug 1820132

apport does not depend on gdb so it's possible, even likely, that gdb is not installed on the system reporting the crash. Subsequently, report.add_gdb_info will fail and the docstring indicates that this should "Raises ... OSError if calling gdb fails" however the docstring is currently a liar perhaps because of a change I made. Regardless this should be sorted out. Here's the Traceback:
