Apport Crash Alert Always Displays Even When /var/crash is Empty

Bug Description

Even with a completely empty /var/crash folder, the Apport notification still constantly displays.

On a separate note, once crashes are reported, a matching ".uploaded" file appears which could be used to clear the indicator instead of having to manually empty the /var/crash folder.

Indeed, good catch. I need to clear the byobu status cache.
