[Bug 2068694] [NEW] Apport trying to upload crashes in a loop

[Michał Sawicz]

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to 24.04, whenever I get a crash report on the system,
Apport will pop up the "report problem" dialog in a loop, regardless of
whether I choose "Send" or "Don't send".

Only thing that helps is removing the crash report from `/var/crash`. If
I don't do that immediately and come back after some time, I will have
dozens of open apport dialogs.
