[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1485787@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.18.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.18.1-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * New upstream bug fix release. Changes since our previous snapshot:
    - packaging.py: Only consider first word in /etc/os-release's NAME value.
      This works around Debian's inconsistent value. (LP: #1408245)
    - Unify and simplify Package: field generation in kernel_crashdump,
      kernel_oops, and package_hook by using the new Report.add_package()
      method.  (LP: #1485787)
    - sandboxutils.py, make_sandbox(): Make "Cannot find package which ships
      Executable/InterpreterPath" fatal, to save some unnecessary package
      unpack cycles. (LP: #1487174)
  * etc/apport/crashdb.conf: Enable crash reports on Launchpad for wily.
    Really late, sorry about that!

Title:
  package_hook does not include package version

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

Bug description:
  All of these problem reports are missing a package version:

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/abc807de9d9c87d965fea31c865192edb30b6738

  This is because package_hook in apport only writes the following:

  pr['Package'] = options.package

  We should include the package version in the problem report.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) echo "You have failed this city." | /usr/share/apport/package_hook -p apport
  2) grep "^Package" /var/crash/apport.1000.crash

  With the current version of apport you'll only see the package name,
  with the version from -proposed you'll see the package version in
  addition to the name.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  Worst case scenario I screwed the patch up and we loose the package name too, but given that it works in wily and there is a test for it in test_hooks.py that seems unlikely.
