Public bug reported: I had a distribution upgrade crash when I was trying to upgrade from 18.04 to 19.10 and a .crash was generated. I didn't want to report it from the system which crashed so I ran apport (to do the data collection) and saved the information in the report. I then copied it over to another system which is running Ubuntu 19.04 and I could not report the crash as I received the following crash.
