Title:
  Failed to start Notification regarding a crash report

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  journalctl has these nasty messages when the whoopsie service is
  disabled:

  systemd[3290]: Starting Notification regarding a crash report...
  update-notifier-crash[38295]: /usr/bin/whoopsie
  systemd[3290]: update-notifier-crash.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
  systemd[3290]: update-notifier-crash.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
  systemd[3290]: Failed to start Notification regarding a crash report.

  It is caused by /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-notifier-crash having
  `set -e` at the top but then doing checks like `systemctl -q is-
  enabled whoopsie` outside of an `if`. A simple fix that also silences
  the line with "/usr/bin/whoopsie" is attached.
