+ [steps to reproduce]
+ 
+ 1) on a system with non-UTF-8 characters in syslog, run 'apport -p apparmor -f'

+ [regression potential]
+ 
+ The change in the patch for this bug solely modifies the apparmor
+ apport hook. It could potentially introduce more breakage there (but
+ couldn't affect apparmor mediation); also the lp:qa-regression-testign
+ test-apparmor.py attempts to exercise the apport hook, and this is
+ exercised in as part of every linux kernel update by the kernel team

Title:
  apport-bug crashing on server install

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [impact]

  This bug prevents apport from reporting apparmor bugs on systems with
  non-UTF-8 characters showing up in syslog (the kernel reporting raw
  information from hardware is a common culprit).

  [steps to reproduce]

  1) on a system with non-UTF-8 characters in syslog, run 'apport -p apparmor -f'
     if the bug has been addressed, this should generate a report as
     expected instead of causing apport to crash.

  [regression potential]

  The change in the patch for this bug solely modifies the apparmor
  apport hook. It could potentially introduce more breakage there (but
  couldn't affect apparmor mediation); also the lp:qa-regression-testign
  test-apparmor.py attempts to exercise the apport hook, and this is
  exercised in as part of every linux kernel update by the kernel team
  (who frequently hit this issue due to the quirkiness of some of
  their hardware).
