kyua on Ubuntu 14.04 test failures due to apport

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

I was testing kyua on Ubuntu 14.04, and some of the stacktrace
tests were failing because it could not find corefiles for certain tests.
I looked into it for a while, and found the following.

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %P

Looking here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport

I found that this is a Python script on Ubuntu systems that intercepts user coredumps
and generates some sort of report.

I disabled it by:

(1)  edit /etc/defaults/apport

    set enabled=0

(2)  sudo service apport stop

I looked at the core_pattern:

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
core

When I re-ran all the kyua tests, the stacktrace tests then passed.
