  apport-unpack crashes with ValueError: ['ProcEnviron', UserGroups']

Bug description:
  In bug #1661205 avahi-dameon repeatedly crashes, and causes apport to
  go into an infinite loop.

  However I suspect this is a problem with apport, because when I
  manually unpack the .crash I get:

  # apport-unpack /var/crash/_usr_sbin_avahi-daemon.0.crash /home/redacted/foo
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/apport-unpack", line 73, in <module>
      pr.extract_keys(f, bin_keys, dir)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 270, in extract_keys
      [item for item, element in b64_block.items() if element is False])
  ValueError: ['ProcEnviron', 'UserGroups'] has no binary content

  Please find attached /var/crash/_usr_sbin_avahi-daemon.0.crash
