[Bug 1545681] Re: apport-gtk is shown as <defunct> in process list

[Lanoxx]

I have the exact same problem. I have experienced this issue already in
Ubuntu 14.04 and it still occurs on 16.04. A fix would be very much
appreciated

Title:
  apport-gtk is shown as <defunct> in process list

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Everytime I login a couple of crash report "System program problem
  detected" dialogs popup. When I click on report problem the on one of
  those dialog, it takes a short moment while information is being
  gathered and then a second dialog pops up. If on that dialog I click
  submit, then the dialog disappears and nothing happens.

  When I then focus another f those crash report detected dialogs and
  try to report another problem then the second dialog never opens and
  instead just nothing happens. While investigating this issue I noticed
  that `apport-gtk` is shown as defunct by ps:

  [apport-gtk] <defunct>

  I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will latest updates. It would be nice if
  this could be fixed, so I can properly report bugs again.
