This bug was fixed in the package whoopsie - 0.2.43

---------------
whoopsie (0.2.43) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Remove .crash file if we are unable to create a .uploaded file for it
    to prevent trying to upload the same crash file multiple times.
    (LP: #1392412)
  * Avoid buffer overflow when parsing reports. Thanks to John-Mark Bell for
    the patch. (LP: #1397340)

Title:
  may frequently try to upload reports when server responds with 400

Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  parse_and_upload_report will return success = True on a 400 response
  from the server, however if for some reason the report is not marked
  as handled (mark_handled) then because there is no .uploaded file
  whoopsie will continually try to upload the .crash file.

  from src/whoopsie.c:

          } else if (online_state && parse_and_upload_report (crash_file)) {
              if (!mark_handled (crash_file))
                  log_msg ("Unable to mark report as seen (%s)\n", crash_file);

          }

  Given that every crash report is not precious, we should just remove
  the crash_file if mark_handled fails.
