[Bug 1778557] Re: ubuntu-bug works properly only if we are in $HOME dir

[Brian Murray]

This is actually an issue with the apport package hook for cheese, found
in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_cheese.py. Here's the
offending code:

HOME = os.path.expanduser("~")

def add_info(report, ui):
    add_tags = []

    response = ui.information("Before continuing, please close Cheese if it is already running!\n\nCheese will now be started in debugging mode.\n\nTry to reproduce the problem you are facing\nand 'Close' Cheese.")
    ## run cheese in debug mode all the bugs need this!
    os.popen("env GST_DEBUG=*cheese*:3 cheese 2>&1 | tee /dev/tty >>~/.cache/CheeseDebug.txt")

    report['CheeseDebug.txt'] = ('.cache/CheeseDebug.txt', False)

** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => cheese (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: cheese (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

** Changed in: cheese (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- ubuntu-bug works properly only if we are in $HOME dir
+ apport package hook works properly only if we are in $HOME dir
