Bug Description
In add_release_info of the generic ubuntu apport hook we can see the following:
log = '/var/log/
if os.path.
mtime = os.stat(
human_mtime = time.strftime(
delta = time.time() - mtime
# Would be nice if this also showed which release was originally installed
else:
UpgradeStatus doesn't take into consideration the possibility that people upgraded by editing their sources.list file and ran 'apt-get dist-upgrade', so saying it is "probably a fresh install" is wrong. Apport can up creating reports with a InstallationMedia of Precise, DistroRelease of Yakkety, but then a UpgradeStatus of "No upgrade log present..." which is wrong.
