Public bug reported:
In add_release_info of the generic ubuntu apport hook we can see the
following:
log = '/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log'
if os.path.exists(log):
mtime = os.stat(log).st_mtime
human_mtime = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.gmtime(mtime))
delta = time.time() - mtime
# Would be nice if this also showed which release was originally
installed
report['UpgradeStatus'] = 'Upgraded to %s on %s (%d days ago)' %
(release_codename, human_mtime, delta / 86400)
else:
report['UpgradeStatus'] = 'No upgrade log present (probably fresh
install)'
UpgradeStatus doesn't take into consideration the possibility that
people upgraded by editing their sources.list file and ran 'apt-get
dist-upgrade', so saying it is "probably a fresh install" is wrong.
Apport can up creating reports with a InstallationMedia of Precise,
DistroRelease of Yakkety, but then a UpgradeStatus of "No upgrade log
present..." which is wrong.
