Title:
/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py crashed: KeyError:
'CasperMD5json'
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Focal:

Status in apport source package in Jammy:

Bug description:
[Impact]
If the user reports a bug and rejects to enter the root password for
collecting information (like the CasperMD5json), the Ubuntu add_info
hook will fail with a stack trace. The remaining code for collecting
more information is not executed. So the resulting bug reports will be
less helpful. The check_for_disk_error call is not reached and
therefore skipped.
[Test Plan]
1. Launch the Ubuntu installer (i.e. ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso)
2. Select "Try Ubuntu"
3. Open a terminal
4. Run: ubuntu-bug -f
5. Select "installer" and click on OK
6. Click on "abort" when ask for the password
7. The terminal should not show a stacktrace
[Where problems could occur]
The changed code is the Ubuntu add_info hook. So this hook could fail
due to a regression or reveal bugs in the later code path. The later
code path could cause more more load on the users machine (but only
when the user wants to report the issue). Apport will catch failing
add_info hooks and store the failure in the report.
