This is by design, I'm afraid. We originally did that, but as people complained that it blocks the crashed process for too long, we moved all the non-essential data collection to the UI stage. Collecting package information takes several dozen seconds, and causes quite a high IO load.
The expectation is that as soon as the .crash file is written, apport pops up, and when you want to report the bug, it'll add the extra data. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Summary changed: - crash files don't include package version + crash files don't ensure matching package version -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794190 Title: crash files don't ensure matching package version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/794190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
