[Bug 1778694] Re: In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences API, reports are not sent by whoopsie

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.10-0ubuntu5

---------------
apport (2.20.10-0ubuntu5) cosmic; urgency=medium

  *  Assume if no whoopsie that crash reporting is enabled:
     As the old configuration that was a whoopsie configuration file that was
     that was never updated by the whoopsie API, we assume that no
     whoopsie installed (not the default) == manual send report is allowed.
     If people want to disable crash reporting:
     - get whoopsie installed and disable crash reporting in g-c-c
     - uninstall apport

Title:
  In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences API, reports are not sent
  by whoopsie

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui to be installed, which we don't by default.
  apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part of apport binary package).

  There is 2 possible solutions:
  - promoting apport-noui to main, and seeding it.
  - or considering there is no reason anymore to have a separate apport-noui pacakge (no more phone factor), and so move the systemd units to apport, having a conditional file on whoopsie installed (no more dependency) and autoreport enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to apport-autoreport.*) directly.
