+
+ This service failure might mislead user thinking that there is a
+ problem.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ 1. Disable auto-reporting in the system setting
+ 2. Produce a crash, e.g. by running divide-by-zero from chaos-marmosets
+ 3. Check that apport-autoreport.service is failing as above
+ 4. Upgrade Apport to the fixed version
+ 5. Restart apport-autoreport.service
+ 6. apport-autoreport.service should exit successfully
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ This code change touches the auto-reporting part. Failures there could
+ lead to less bugs being forwarded to the error tracker. This might be
+ noticeable when looking at the number of submissions.
