Upgrading an obsolete package *after* the crash occurred and was
processed with apport once doesn't work; the flag that there are
obsolete packages is stored in the .crash file itself.
This is actually on purpose: If you have old libraries around, which
cause a crash, then you shouldn't be able to pretend that you were
running the current versions by upgrading after the crash happened;
instead, you should reproduce the crash and file it again. Thus I mark
this as wontfix, since it is working as intended.
In such cases where it's clear that the obsolete package is very
unlikely to have caused the crash, you can suppress the obsolescence
check with
APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES=1 /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk -c
/var/crash/foo.crash
(See man apport-cli).
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
