** Description changed:

  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.
