Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to

Title:
  package_hook does not include package version

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in apport source package in Vivid:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
