This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.10-0ubuntu1
---------------
apport (2.20.10-0ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: when using a permanent sandbox better
check for the package being already available thereby reducing quantity
of downloads.
- apport/report.py: Use timeout parameter in subprocess to limit how long
we'll wait for gdb to return information as gdb can hang with some core
files.
- data/apport: Fix PEP8 issues
- apport/ui.py: Include ProblemType in reports which are updated as
package hooks may expect the report to have a ProblemType. (LP: #1766794)
- test/test_ui.py: modify run_crash_kernel test to account for the fact
that linux-image-$kvers-$flavor is now built from the linux-signed
source package on amd64 and ppc64el. (LP: #1766740)
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix UnicodeDecodeError when processing
DpkgTerminalLog. (LP: #1766337)
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Don't display a messy error if python or
python3 is not installed. (LP: #1769262)
* debian/apport.links: source_linux-signed.py -> source_linux.py package
hook (LP: #1766740)
* data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Redirect bugs filed about the
linux-signed source package to linux. (LP: #1766740)
