Title:
  apport does not upload apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz (permission
  denied)

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) In a terminal on a uvt virtual machine run update-manager -d
  2) Choose no when presented with a warning about about your graphics not being supported
  3) Confirm that /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz exists
  4) Run ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
  5) Expand the apport dialog and confirm that VarLogDistUpgradeAptclone is not included

  After installing the update-manager package from -proposed repeat step
  4.

  VarLogDistUpgradeAptclone... should now be included in the bug report
  although the apport dialog will say that it is binary data.

  Original Report
  ---------------
  When reporting a bug via 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core', apport does not upload the file /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz due to a permission error.

  To reproduce:
  1) Install 12.04.3 with updates
  2) Try to upgrade to 14.04 via 'update-manager -d' (this fails - see bug 1274672)
  3) Run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'

  Expected result:
  Apport uploads apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz to launchpad along with apt.log and main.log

  Actual results
  Apport uploads apt.log and main.log to launchpad, but does not upload apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz. The corresponding bug report says there is a permission error for that file (see bug 1274672 for an example)

  Permissions on /var/log/dist-upgrade are:
  ubuntu at ubuntu-VirtualBox:~$ ll /var/log/dist-upgrade/
