Public bug reported:
whoopsie-upload-all in it's process_report() function will try to
collect information for a crash with a truncated core dump every time it
is called thereby wasting resources on a device.
I'm looking at the following code:
if 'Dependencies' in r:
print('%s already has info collected' % report)
else:
print('Collecting info for %s...' % report)
r.add_os_info()
# add minimal hook information here; whoopsie only considers
# ApportVersion, NonfreeKernelModules, SystemImageInfo
try:
r.add_hooks_info(None)
except Exception as e:
sys.stderr.write('WARNING: hook failed for processing %s: %s\n' %
(report, str(e)))
try:
r.add_gdb_info()
except (IOError, EOFError) as e:
sys.stderr.write('ERROR: processing %s: %s\n' % (report, str(e)))
return None
Because the report is never written Dependencies is never added to the
report, so every time whoopsie-upload-all is called it will run
add_hooks_info() and add_gdb_info() for the same report.
