Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be

hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

  pkexec fails in a non-graphical environment

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The plymouth apport source package hooks wants to gather log files as the 
root user and apport provides a policy kit policy for collecting that 
information. This works fine in a graphical environment but not in a 
non-graphical one.

  [Test Case]
  1) ssh into an Ubuntu Desktop install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or Ubuntu 20.10
  2) sudo touch /var/log/plymouth-debug.log
  3) ubuntu@disco:~$ ubuntu-bug plymouth

  *** Collecting problem information

  The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the
  application. This might take a few minutes.
  ..........==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.apport.root-info ===
  Authentication is required to collect system information for this problem 
report
  Authenticating as: Ubuntu (ubuntu)
  Password: ....
  polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
  ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===
  Error executing command as another user: Not authorized

  This incident has been reported.

  With the version of apport from -proposed you will not see the
  "AUTHENTICATION FAILED" error and the plymouth-debug.log file will be
  collected.

  [Where Problems Could Occur]
  It's possible that the spawned pkttyagent process does not get cleaned up 
properly and could be left running. When testing the SRU we should confirm it 
is not still running.
