[Bug 1922937] Re: reading casper-md5check.json fails

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.11-0ubuntu62

---------------
apport (2.20.11-0ubuntu62) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * apport/hookutils.py: spawn pkttyagent so that log files can be gathered as
    root in a non-graphical environment (LP: #1821415). Thanks to Iain Lane
    for the patch.
  * apport/hookutils.py: root access is needed to read the
    casper-md5check.json file so switch to using that. (LP: #1922937)
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: improving tagging of bugs from images we
    create so that they are tagged $arch-image and better identify Raspberry
    Pi devices (LP: #1920837). Thanks to Dave Jones for the patch.
