[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Laurent, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Python warnings: modules imported without specifying a version first

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Description]
  Users receive warnings about importing of python modules without a version being specified.  While this isn't a big deal in itself we get lots of bug reports from people about this issue since it is so obvious.  Given that Ubuntu 16.04 is an LTS release we should fix this and prevent further reporting of the issue.

  [Test Case]
  1) run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk in a terminal
  2) Observe the following

  /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
    from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
  /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: GdkX11 was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('GdkX11', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
    from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk

  with the version of apport in -proposed you'll no longer receive the
  warning.

  [Regression Potential]As with any SRU this could cause a regression in
  the software if the fix is typo'ed so review it carefully.  If there
  isn't a typo and then the chance of a regression is very very very
  low.
