[Bug 814727] Re: Do not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault
Er. It was brought to my attention that I might have left apport enabled. I checked, and indeed it was. Repeating the test, now *really* following the instructions, shows no apport pop-up, and no crash report created.

[Bug 814727] Re: Do not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault
I tried it -- I started with a command-line system; pre-update tests succeeded; but after upgrading to apport on -proposed, I would get a crash report on man-db (which is updated as part of the installation of checksecurity). Installed software-center and gdm, rerun the install of checksecurity: a new crash report for man-db was created, and apport kicked in asking if I wanted to report the problem. I am not sure this is what was intended, so marking verification-failed. ** Tags removed: testcase verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-failed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814727 Title: Do not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/814727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 814727] Re: Do not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault
** Description changed: The Oneiric version of apport does not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault in them as we'd rather have the crash report than the package installation failure. This should be SRU'ed into previous releases of Ubuntu so that we prevent reporting of unnecessary bugs. + + TEST CASE: + 1) Modify /usr/share/debconf/confmodule to include 'kill -SEGV $$' in line 4 +(we are replicating a segfault in an underlying part of a package installation) + 2) Using software-center install checksecurity + 3) Observe the installation fail due to a segfault + 4) You should receive an apport package install failure dialog offering you to report the crash + + cleanup: + 1) revert the change in /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + 2) remove and purge checksecurity + 3) remove the checksecurity crash file in /var/crash + + proposed package test case + 1) install apport from -proposed + 2) modify /usr/share/debconf/confmodule again + 3) install checksecurity using software center + 4) Observe the installation fail due to a segfault + 5) You should NOT receive an apport package install failure dialog offering you to report the crash +Additionally there should be no file 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/814727 Title: Do not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/814727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
