** Description changed:
[Impact]
Apport version 2.10-0ubuntu2 in saucy contains a shorter and less complicated
DuplicateSignature than was previously used, to allow for more frequent
duplicate consolidation on errors.ubuntu.com. This will allow package
installation failures to appear amongst the most frequent crashes, and
subsequently should be SRU'ed to the previous releases of Ubuntu so that we can
resolve package install failures in them.
[Test Case]
1) download the crash-in-postinst package from
https://launchpad.net/~daisy-pluckers/+archive/daisy-seeds
2) install the package via software-center (software-center
crash-in-postinst_1-0~2~raring1_amd64.deb)
- 3) observe apport-crash dialog, click "Show Details"
- 4) Find DuplicateSignature section of the apport crash which should be 3
lines and contain
+ 3) install the package again via 'sudo apt-get install crash-in-postinst'
+ 4) observe apport-crash dialog, click "Show Details"
+ 5) Find DuplicateSignature section of the apport crash which should be 3
lines and contain
" Setting up crash-in-postinst (1-0~2~raring1) ...
dpkg: error processing crash-in-postinst (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
"
With the version of apport from -proposed the crash signature will look
like:
"package:crash-in-postinst:1-0~2~raring1 [origin: unknown]: subprocess
installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1"

crash-in-postinst_1-0~2~raring1_amd64.deb)
3) install the package again via 'sudo apt-get install crash-in-postinst'

software-center)
