This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1
---------------
apport (2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1) noble; urgency=medium
[ Chris Peterson ]
* d/package-hooks/subiquity.py: update information collection (LP: #2067775)
- Add information about snap update/refresh state
- Attach logs and change key names to align with the information
attached by subiquity's self-collection
- Attach hardware information
- Ensure bug reports are always private since there may be private
information in the logs
- Don't require sudo for logs collection
- Add journal logs
- Ensure snap revision is included in both deb and snap collection
style
- Handle version information when permission elevation fails.

Title:
/var/crash has perm 1777 (was: apport-gtk keeps prompting to report
crashes in a loop)
Status in Apport:
Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Noble:

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
On affected systems, Python crashes will be owned by the crashing
group instead of whoopsie. This causes whoopsie to fail reading and
uploading the crash report. So a lot of Python crashes were not
reporting and keeping us blind.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Reconstruct the problem by setting the permission of /var/crash to 1777.
2. Upgrade Apport to the fixed version
3. Verify that /var/crash has the permission 3777 after the update.
4. Run and crash a random Python script (needs to be from a Ubuntu package)
5. Verify that the Python crash was correctly uploaded.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The fix touched the /var/crash permission and the apport.service
startup code. This might lead to failures on custom setup (despite
using similar postinst code than whoopsie).
This fix might still not address the initial bug report of reporting
crashes in a loop. In this case a follow-up bug report should be
started.
[ Original report ]
/var/crash has the following contents:
-rw-r----- 1 vorlon vorlon 107490 May 23 16:05
_usr_bin_gourmand.1000.crash
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vorlon vorlon 0 May 23 16:06
_usr_bin_gourmand.1000.upload
-rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 5 May 23 16:07
_usr_bin_gourmand.1000.uploaded
-rw-r----- 1 vorlon vorlon 23647 May 23 13:57
_usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.crash
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vorlon vorlon 0 May 23 13:59
_usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.upload
-rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 5 May 23 13:59
_usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.uploaded
As seen, the .upload / .uploaded files were created within 2 minutes
of each of the crashes.
But after submitting the crash report for /usr/bin/python-argcomplete-
check-easy-install-script, I left my desktop for a while. I came back
to find at least TWENTY dialogs prompting me to submit the same crash
report.
The only way to stop the system from creating more prompts is to
remove these files from disk.
