[Touch-packages] [Bug 1693948] Re: useless diagnostics in DpkgTerminalLog from journalctl due to ellipses
The file /var/log/dpkg.log contains the ellipsized lines so yeah I think dpkg is better place for this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693948 Title: useless diagnostics in dpkg.log from journalctl due to ellipses Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Many of the apport hooks try to include some information about why a service didn't start correctly.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1693948] Re: useless diagnostics in DpkgTerminalLog from journalctl due to ellipses
Thanks Brian; should we retarget this bug to dpkg to get it to show different output? or is it still apport that is collecting ellipsized logs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693948 Title: useless diagnostics in DpkgTerminalLog from journalctl due to ellipses Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Many of the apport hooks try to include some information about why a service didn't start correctly.
