[Bug 797847] Re: aptdaemon doesn't check if apport is enabled

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: aptdaemon
  
  aptdaemon has its own crash handler and it does not check to see if
  apport is enabled before writing a crash report.  Subsequently, we are
  receiving lots of crash reports regarding aptdaemon on natty which are
  duplicates and wasteful.  Instead aptdaemon should check to see if
  apport is enabled before writing a crash report.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1) Run sudo apt-get update in a terminal
+ 2) While apt is updating execute pkill -11 aptd
+ 3) Observe an apport crash reporting dialog
+ 
+ After installing the package from -proposed
+ 1) Run sudo apt-get update in a terminal
+ 2) While apt is updating execute pkill -11 aptd
+ 3) Observer there is not an apport crash reporting dialog
