Title:
  whoopsie-prefernces respawns whoopsie in an infinite loop

Status in “whoopsie-preferences” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. Go to system settings -> security and privacy -> diagnostics
  2. wait about 1 minute
  3. whoopsie-preferences starts respawning whoopsie in an infinite loop

  (If nothing happens after about a minute, try changes some preferences
  and waiting again)

  init (PID 1), dbus, polkitd and whoopsie-prefences then peg a cpu at
  100%.  Everything settles back down when system settings is closed.
