Stellar work, guys. I do find it odd that this is causing whoopsie to
sit around doing nothing, given that online_state defaults to true, but
let's assume for a minute that dbus is indeed the problem.

The upstart job doesn't have any non-runlevel service dependencies, so
it could conceivably come up before the system bus is started. Coming up
before Network Manager should be okay, thanks to dbus service
activation.

If we cannot talk to Network Manager, we assume Internet connectivity.
This covers the case where NetworkManager or DBus have caught fire.
Besides, if we cannot submit a crash file, we'll find out pretty
quickly.

However, this code was written before whoopsie was running on phones and
I now worry we could end up in a situation where we're trying to send
lots of large crash files on a 3G or paid connection.

As much as it pains me to add runtime dependencies to whoopsie, perhaps
we should solve this by putting 'start on started dbus' and 'stop on
stopping dbus' in the upstart job. What do you guys think? Brian? Does
this fix the bug for you, Paul and Joe?

Title:
  [phone] crash files are only uploaded on boot

Status in “whoopsie” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On the phone (mako utopic #125) it seems that crash files are only
  uploaded on boot and not when the crash occurs. whoopsie is running
  but doesn't seem to detect that a crash file is ready for upload.

  = Test Case =
  1. In a shell run:
      $ bash -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
  2. Wait until the file _bin_bash.32011.uploaded is created

  -> Check that after a moment whoopsie-upload-all is running
  -> Check the progress of the upload in /var/log/upstart/apport-noui.log
  -> Upon upload, check that /var/log/syslog contains a OOPS entry from whoopsie

  = Actual Result =
  whoopsie-upload-all times out and the crash file is not uploaded. If the device is rebooted, the crash is uploaded immediately.
