[Bug 973370] Re: "Aptdaemon Software Management Service" inappropriately described as an "application"

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Aptdaemon manually creates crash reports to report programming failures
without having to crash the whole daemon.

If I remember correctly apport used to show the path to the exectuable
which crashed, which was /usr/sbin/aptd. Because of this I added the
desktop file to show a better name.

I will remove the desktop file from the crash report.

Title:
  "Aptdaemon Software Management Service" inappropriately described as
  an "application"

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  apport 2.0-0ubuntu4, aptdaemon 0.43+bzr790-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Pangolin

  1. Experience a crash in aptdaemon.

  What happens: "The application Aptdaemon Software Management Service
  has closed unexpectedly. ( Show Details ) ( Leave Closed ) (
  Relaunch)"

  What's wrong with this:
  * Aptdaemon is not an application, and people shouldn't have to know it by name.
  * "Relaunch" is offered as a possible action, when this doesn't make sense.

  What should happen: "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error.
  ( Show Details ) ( Continue )"

  This might be caused by aptdaemon having a .desktop file when it
  shouldn't. If it isn't, it may be a duplicate of bug 964696.
