`abrt` suddenly lost all of its past reports

Yesterday, whilst running an instance of gnome-abrt from the shell (because I had a debug window from a previous instance, then-closed, open), I invoked abrt, and noticed it had lost all of its previous entries. Unsurprisingly, my open report windows then failed, reporting that their corresponding /var/spool/abrt directories didn’t exist. coredumpctl list -r retains all past entries, however.

You can see an example of this at bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2354765#c16, where I’ve already submitted a comment at #c12 that would otherwise have been listed in gnome-abrt’s GUI, preventing me needing to submit a new comment.
