/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py crashed: KeyError: 'CasperMD5json'

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Fixed upstream in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/apport/commit/?id=2073b90d5da4772306c467bda2d0b9c5edd9fb70

So this bug is fixed in kinetic by apport version 2.22.0-0ubuntu1. The fix for this bug is included in the SRUs for jammy and focal. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/1982555 for details.

An upload of apport to jammy-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "contains bugfixes without bug references or test cases, does not meet SRU policy".

Hello Bruce, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.11-0ubuntu82.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I updated the test case, because the report needs to be filed after the installation. Successfully verified apport 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.3 on jammy in a virtual machine.

Verified that apport 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.27 does not throw a KeyError on CasperMD5json any more:

```
$ ubuntu-bug -f
