Bug Description

As of Precise apport is always running, it just doesn't send all crashes to bugs.launchpad.net, so the distribution upgrade process does not need to start it.

so this:

    def doDistUpgrade(self):
        # check if we want apport running during the upgrade
        if self.config.getWithDefault("Distro","EnableApport", False):
            self.enableApport()

and enableApport in DistUpgradeController.py aren't really necessary.

I have added a MP which removes the Apport Enablement from DistUpgradeController.py in this branch.

Well while it is true that the ubuntu-release-upgrader does not need to able apport in the stable release it does somehow need to tell apport to send crash reports again.

In the stable release the following is set in /etc/apport/crashdb.conf:

        'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Which won't allow crashes to be reported.

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:0.192.4) raring; urgency=low

  * Ensure that partial upgrades are fully translated (LP: #1072828) thanks to
    Gabor Kelemen for the initial patch.
  * Remove code enabling apport since it is always running (LP: #1068874)
  * check-new-release-gtk: set the correct translation domain thanks to Gabor
    Kelemen for patch (LP: #1093697)
  * DistUpgradeController.py: call apport-bug with the binary package name not
    the source package name (LP: #1098001)
  * source_ubuntu-release-upgrader.py: set the crash database to Ubuntu to
    allow reporting of bugs even if the package does not seem to be official
