[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1516947@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.19.3-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.19.3-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * New upstream microrelease:
    - apt/dpkg: Fix source record lookup in install_packages. Thanks Brian
      Murray!
    - hookutils.py, attach_gsettings_schema(): Don't replace the schema
      variable; fixes attaching relocatable schemas. Thanks Sébastien Bacher!
    - generic hook: Limit JournalErrors to the 1.000 last lines. This avoids
      long report load times when processes cause massive log spew.
      (LP: #1516947)
    - Add key filtering to ProblemReport.load().
    - Don't read the entire report when determining the CrashCounter. This
      avoids long delays for existing large reports.
    - test_python_crashes.py: Be less sensitive to the precise names of
      gvfs-metadata D-Bus service files.
    - Move backend_apt_dpkg -dbgsym test cases to Ubuntu 15.10.
    - Tests: Move to unittest's builtin "mock" module.
