[Bug 962130] Re: Crash in whoopsie itself shows application alert instead of internal error alert

[Martin Pitt]

How about requiring SHELL in addition to TERM?

$ sudo cat /proc/`pidof whoopsie`/environ | xargs -0n1
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
TERM=linux
CRASH_DB_URL=https://daisy.ubuntu.com
RUNLEVEL=2
PREVLEVEL=N
UPSTART_EVENTS=runlevel
UPSTART_JOB=whoopsie
UPSTART_INSTANCE=

That ought to at least work for such system daemons, and they don't have
$SHELL. $SHELL is also a "safe" (i. e. non-sensitive) variable, so we
keep that.

Title:
  Crash in whoopsie itself shows application alert instead of internal
  error alert

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “whoopsie-daisy” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  apport 1.94.1-0ubuntu2, whoopsie 0.1.19, Ubuntu Pangolin

  When whoopsie itself crashes, the alert says "Sorry, the application
  whoopsie has closed unexpectedly."

  whoopsie is not an application, it's a part of the Ubuntu system, so
  the "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" should appear
  instead.
