Hello fellow developers, I just released Apport 1.90 and uploaded it into Precise. This version introduces client-side duplicate checking.
So from now, when you report a crash, you are likely to see “We already know about this” right away, without having to upload or type anything, and you will get directed to the bug page. If you get this, please mark yourself as affected and/or subscribe to the bug, both to get a notification when it gets fixed, and also to properly raise the “hotness” of the bug to bubble up to developer attention. Please let me know at once if you see this system acting up and being wrong. This is still a fairly new and not much tested approach, so there might be cases where the new way of duplicate detection goes wrong. This also means that from now on it should not be necessary to write manual bug patterns for crashes. We still need bug patterns for common package installation failure situations, or in general any bug which is not a crash which we can identify from log files, etc. If you are interested in some background and technical details, please see the longer version of this announcemnt [1].
