Public bug reported:
Looking at the retracer's activity on bug 1639215, we can see that the
retracer did something because it removed the need-amd64-retrace tag but
we don't know what. It'd be helpful to know what happened during the
retracing process rather than leaving people reading the bug in the
dark.
Looking at the retracing log files we see the following:
ERROR: Invalid core dump: BFD: Warning: /tmp/apport_core_RVHov3 is
truncated: expected core file size >= 2306977792, found: 2147479552.
Looking at add_gdb_info we see the following:
if 'is truncated: expected core file size' in out:
...
raise IOError(reason)
And apport-retrace does the following:
try:
report.add_gdb_info(sandbox)
except IOError as e:
apport.fatal(str(e))
Instead of just exiting, apport-retrace should comment on the bug about
the core dump being corrupt and call crashdb.mark_retrace_failed().
