Title:
possible for a 2nd occurrence of a crash not to be sent to errors
Status in Apport crash detection/reporting:
Fix Released
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
I was testing errors in the cloud using juju and created a crash
report for d-feet. The first time I did this the a .crash file was
created and then a corresponding .upload and .uploaded file were
created. The second time I did this a new .crash file was created but
a new .upload file was not and subsequently the 2nd occurrence of this
crash was not sent to the error tracker.
My /var/crash directory:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bdmurray whoopsie 0 Nov 28 10:25
_usr_bin_d-feet.1000.upload
-rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 0 Nov 28 13:14
_usr_bin_d-feet.1000.uploaded
-rw-r----- 1 bdmurray whoopsie 3401262 Nov 28 13:43 _usr_bin_d-feet.1000.crash
In apport/fileutils.py we can see that there are no checks done to see
if there is already a .upload or .uploaded file:
def mark_report_upload(report):
report = '%s.upload' % report.rsplit('.', 1)[0]
with open(report, 'a'):
pass
So if a .upload for the crash already exists a new one is not created
nor is the existing one modified.
