I installed apport version 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 and did not receive a Traceback when using apport-collect to update an ubuntu-release-upgrader bug report. I did however receive the following error message since apport doesn't seem to support using apport-collect with a source package name, but that is a separate issue.

[Regression Potential] The change is just to stop removing the ProblemType from the created report so there really isn't a chance of a regression.
