[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1431058@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.8

---------------
apport (2.14.1-0ubuntu3.8) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * Backport changes from 14.10 to ensure that automatic crash reporting
    works. (LP: #1431058)
    - Refactor whoopsie-upload-all to behave more reliably in case of
      overlapping crash processing.
    - debian/apport-noui.upstart: refactor to make this an 'instance' job for
      each incoming .crash file, and drop the racy handling of non-root .crash
      files (as well as the unnecessary 'env MATCH' line).
    - debian/apport-noui.upstart: remove early exit
    - debian/apport-noui.dirs: create /var/lib/apport
    - apport-noui: make the package installation automatically enable
      autosubmission, and update the package description accordingly.

Title:
  Stable Release Update to provide possiblity of automatically reporting
  crashes

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in apport source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  -----------
  1) Install apport-noui
  2) Verify /var/lib/apport/autoreport is created
  3) sleep 1000 &
  4) pkill -11 sleep
  5) observe /var/crash/_bin_sleep.crash file
  6) wait a wee bit
  7) observe /var/crash/_bin_sleep.upload and .uploaded are created

  The version of apport in Ubuntu 14.04 is missing a few changes that
  would allow users to install apport-noui and allow crash reports to be
  submitted automatically from systems with it installed. The changes
  are the following:

    * debian/apport-noui.upstart: remove early exit (LP: #1235436)
    * debian/apport-noui.dirs: create /var/lib/apport (LP: #1235436)
    * data/whoopsie-upload-all: backport utopic version of it
    * apport-noui: make the package installation automatically enable
      autosubmission, and update the package description accordingly.
      LP: #1351137.

  The changes to whoopsie-upload-all can be found in this revision
  (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
  dev/ubuntu/vivid/apport/ubuntu/revision/2351) and they were fixing LP:
  #1354318.  It would be useful if users of 14.04 could install apport-
  noui and have crash reports automatically submitted for them.
