[Bug 1049223] Re: package install failures with uninformative dpkgterminallog files
Thinking about this more the check to see whether or not we are inside a chroot would need to happen when the package fails to install (like in apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc) not after the fact when processing the apport report (e.g. the ubuntu general hook) written to /var/crash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049223 Title: package install failures with uninformative dpkgterminallog files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1049223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1049223] Re: package install failures with uninformative dpkgterminallog files
Looking at the 22 bugs that I mentioned the vast majority have 'Command line' information in dmesg that references a cdrom for example: bug-991520/Dmesg.txt:[0.00] Command line: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- maybe-ubiquity which leads me to believe they had chroot'ed into their Ubuntu system to repair a failed upgrade. There are also a few with 'rescue/enable=true' in the Command line, which is also likely a situation where people chroot'ed. So I think the best thing to do is just block these package installation failures. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049223 Title: package install failures with uninformative dpkgterminallog files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1049223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The string is translated so we'll need to check and see if the bug report is coming from a chroot'ed system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049223 Title: package install failures with uninformative dpkgterminallog files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1049223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

update-manager has some code to see if it is inside a chroot: def inside_chroot(): returns True if we are inside a chroot # if there is no proc or no pid 1 we are very likely inside a chroot if not os.path.exists(/proc) or not os.path.exists(/proc/1): return True # if the inode is differnt for pid 1 / and our / return os.stat(/) != os.stat(/proc/1/root) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049223 Title: package install failures with uninformative dpkgterminallog files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1049223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Michael - do you have any idea how we can improve the situation here?
