[Bug 1809247] Re: SetReportCrashes to true dbus call failed

[Brian Murray]

My detective work reveals that the uploads which "fixed" bug 1778497
expect the WhoopsiePreferences D-Bus objects to be available yet
declared no relationship between apport and the package whoopsie-
preferences which provide them. So while whoopsie-preferences is
installed in a lot of tasks it may be missing in some.

apt-cache show whoopsie-preferences
...
