[Bug 1769262] Re: PythonDetails contains an error message if python not installed

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 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-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  PythonDetails contains an error message if python not installed

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

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  0) ensure python is not installed on the system
  1) launch update-manager
  2) kill update-manager
  3) view the crash report

  With the version of apport in the archive you will see messy
  PythonDetails like below. With the version of apport from -proposed
  you will instead see:

  PythonDetails: N/A

  [Regression Potential]
  The fix for this also modified the code which creates Python3Details so we should ensure that Python3Details is not broken.

  Original Description
  --------------------
  In an Ubuntu 18.04 apport-package report, bug 1768866, we can see the following which looks super messy:

  PythonDetails: /root/Error: command ['which', 'python'] failed with
  exit code 1:, Error: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type:
  "/root/Error: command ['which', 'python'] failed with exit code 1:":
  "/root/Error: command ['which', 'python'] failed with exit code 1:",
  unpackaged
