This is actually an issue with the apport package hook for cheese, found in /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_cheese.py. Here's the offending code:
HOME = os.path.expanduser("~") def add_info(report, ui): add_tags = [] response = ui.information("Before continuing, please close Cheese if it is already running!\n\nCheese will now be started in debugging mode.\n\nTry to reproduce the problem you are facing\nand 'Close' Cheese.") ## run cheese in debug mode all the bugs need this! os.popen("env GST_DEBUG=*cheese*:3 cheese 2>&1 | tee /dev/tty >>~/.cache/CheeseDebug.txt") report['CheeseDebug.txt'] = ('.cache/CheeseDebug.txt', False) ** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => cheese (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: cheese (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: cheese (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Summary changed: - ubuntu-bug works properly only if we are in $HOME dir + apport package hook works properly only if we are in $HOME dir -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778557 Title: apport package hook works properly only if we are in $HOME dir Status in cheese package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Chdir to any dir except $HOME.
