apport (1.94-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* New upstream release:
- apport: Set the group of written reports to whoopsie if that group
exists.
- Fix tests to run properly against the system-installed modules and
binaries.
- test/run: Run under LC_MESSAGES=C to avoid test failures due to
translated strings.
- general-hooks/generic.py: Also attach xsession-errors for programs that
link to libgtk-3.
- launchpad.py: Properly handle Expired status, to avoid marking new
bugs as duplicates of expired ones. (LP: #941854)
- apport: Fix crash if the whoopsie group does not exist. (LP: #942326)
- report.py, crash_signature(): Do not put module frames into Python
crash signatures that happen outside of function/method calls. Fall back
to the file/line number as a frame description instead. This will do a
much better job at disambiguating e. g. different ImportError crashes.
(LP: #920403)
- Make binary changed since the time of the crash error message more
comprehensible, thanks Paolo Rotolo. (LP: #942830)
- crashdb.py, check_duplicate(): It can happen that a bug gets identified
as being a duplicate of bug S by symbolic signatures and a duplicate of
bug A by address signatures. Empirical evidence shows that this is due
to the unavoidable jitter in stack traces (A and S not being identified
as duplicates as their signatures differ slightly) and not a logic
error. So instead of erroring out, duplicate all three bugs and keep the
lowest number as the master ID. (LP: #943117)
- Revert the usage of multiple nested threads during data collection, and
switch back to only using one UI thread. The UI implementations can, and
now do, decide between showing a spinner and showing a progress dialog
in the ui_*_info_collection_progress() methods. This fixes libX11
crashes when multiple UI threads do changes concurrently (LP: #901675),
and also avoids multi-thread induced crashes in Pango (LP: #943661). The
removal of the collect() method also fixes the new crashes in it.
(LP: #942098, #939803)
- ui.py, get_desktop_entry(): Fix crash on uninstalled package.
(LP: #940984)
- data/unkillable_shutdown: Fix crash on race condition when PID goes away
while the report is created. (LP: #546369)
- apport/hookutils.py, pci_devices(): Fix crash on unexpected lines from
lspci. (LP: #904489)
- Drop hardcoded Ubuntu words again which crept in with the whoopsie
support merge. Use the DistroRelease: field.
- apport-kde: Fix Home page URL in KApplication metadata.
- apport-gtk: Fix resizability and size after hiding details.
(LP: #405418)
- test/run: Drop local argument. This now tests against the source tree
when run in the source tree root, and against the system
libraries/programs when run from anywhere else.
- test/run: Consider command line arguments as test names and only run
those when given. Also support just running a single test.
- testsuite: Force the skipping of online tests when $SKIP_ONLINE_TESTS is
set.
- hookutils.py, xsession_errors(): Add a reasonable default pattern which
matches glib-style warnings, errors, criticals etc. and X window errors.
In data/general-hooks/generic.py, call it with that default instead of
the rather incomplete custom pattern. (LP: #932660)
- packaging.py: Add get_package_origin() method, and implement it for
apt-dpkg.
- report.py, add_package_info(): Add [origin: ...] tag to Package and
Dependencies fields for any package which is not native to the
distribution. If any such package is present, tag the report with
third-party-packages in data/general-hooks/generic.py. (LP: #927912)
- apport/packaging.py: Add get_uninstalled_package() method as a helper
method for the test suite. Use it instead of a hardcoded Debian/Ubuntu
specific name in test/test_hooks.py.
- test/test_ui_{gtk,kde}.py: Add test cases for complete UI workflow runs
for reporting a bug against an installed/uninstalled package, and
reporting a crash with and without showing details. This reproduces the
recent crashes like LP #901675 or LP #943661.
- test_ui.py: Add a test case for reporting a complete report on
uninstalled package. This happens when reporting a problem from a
different machine through copying a .crash file.
- test/run: Add a test that there are no hardcoded Ubuntu words in the
source. The code should use the DistroRelease: field or lsb_release.
* debian/apport-retrace.install: Ship crash-digger. There is no reason any
more not to, as it's now very easy to set up a retracer bot environment.
* debian/apport.install: Install crash.{class,jar} into
