[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1478115@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I've switched the apport-noui.path systemd file from:

PathChanged=/var/crash

to

PathExistsGlob=/var/crash/*.crash

I've done this because with PathChanged it seemed to me that the
whoopsie-upload-all, called by apport-noui.service, would be called when
any file (e.g. .upload, .uploaded) were created in /var/crash.
Naturally, this seemed excessive to me and PathExistsGlob seems like a
better fit.  Additionally, it is worth noting that the following from
the systemd.path documentation:

"If a path already exists (in case of PathExists= and PathExistsGlob=)
or a directory already is not empty (in case of DirectoryNotEmpty=) at
the time the path unit is activated, then the configured unit is
immediately activated as well. Something similar does not apply to
PathChanged= and PathModified=."

Given that it appears with PathChanged the apport-noui service would
never be run during boot up, again not what we want.

However, making these changes seems to have caused some strange test
failures with the apport's tests.
