[Bug 1202307] Re: update-notifier-crash job does not always exit cleanly

[Brian Murray]

Are you certain that you dismissed the dialog?  I tried recreating this
and it is not possible to alt-tab to the "obsolete package versions"
dialog, nor does it appear in the windows list.

Title:
  update-notifier-crash job does not always exit cleanly

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  initctl list on my user session currently shows the following jobs:

  $ initctl list|grep notifier-crash
  update-notifier-crash (/var/crash/_usr_bin_nm-applet.129.crash) start/running, process 3752
  update-notifier-crash (/var/crash/isc-dhcp-server.0.crash) start/running, process 3742
  update-notifier-crash (/var/crash/_sbin_init.0.crash) start/running, process 3744
  update-notifier-crash (/var/crash/_usr_sbin_unity-greeter.129.crash) start/running, process 3760
  $

  And ps shows:

  vorlon    3760  0.0  0.0   4440   628 ?        Ss   09:00   0:00          \_ /bin/sh -e /proc/self/fd/9
  vorlon    4397  0.0  0.0   4440   608 ?        S    09:00   0:00          |   \_ /bin/sh -e /usr/bin/apport-bug /var/crash/_usr_sbin_unity-greeter.129.crash
  vorlon    4409  0.0  0.9 695212 37756 ?        Sl   09:00   0:01          |       \_ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk /var/crash/_usr_sbin_unity-greeter.129.crash

  But I have no apport-gtk windows on my screen.  This report *did* pop
  up, but I then got a dialog saying the problem could not be reported
  due to outdated packages.  I dismissed this dialog, but the job
  apparently did not go away.

  Not sure if this is an update-notifier or apport bug.
