Title:
reading casper-md5check.json fails
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Focal:
Fix Committed
Status in apport source package in Groovy:

Status in apport source package in Hirsute:

Bug description:
[Impact]
Bugs reported by apport are not including information about the results of
the md5 check of the installation media used. Additionally, users are presented
with a traceback regarding the ubuntu hook which is used with all bug reports.
[Test Case]
1) Boot an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or Ubuntu 20.10 install
2) Create the file /var/log/installer/casper-md5check.json with mode 0600.
3) Run 'ubuntu-bug coreutils'

......ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py crashed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 228, in

with open(location) as json_file:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/log/installer/casper-md5check.json'
[Where problems could occur]
We are switching to reading the file with attach_root_command_outputs which
is a well tested function in apport so the only problem would be a result of
the new code being added. This works well in Hirsute so there is little chance
of their being an error.
