Title:
  apport-bug hangs (because of wrong PATH)

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  % apport-bug

  Now nothing happens, the program hangs.
  As it turns out, apport-bug is a shell script that calls `id` without sanitizing $PATH, so that it calls $HOME/bin/id computing the inner distribution of a code.
