Comment 23 for bug 1492570

There was one additional problem which got only exhibited in the autopkgtest, as that runs against the installed binaries: When encountering dangerous log symlinks or dir permissions, kernel_crashdump itself crashed with an OSError. This doesn't matter when running the tests from the checkout, but when running against the installed package you'll get an apport crash report for kernel_crashdump itself (for that OSError). This fails the tests and also is not something which we want to report as a bug in the first place.

This updated patch intercepts the error and just prints a fatal error instead.
