TEST CASE -------------- 1) Put the attached crash report (re /bin/sleep with the CoreDump field corrupted) in /var/crash/ 2) Run ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_bin_sleep.1000.crash 3) View the details of the crash and observe an UnreportableReason indicating that the "problem report is damaged" 4) Leave "Send an error report" checked and click continue 5) Observe a _bin_sleep.1000.upload in /var/crash/
With the version of the package from -proposed a .upload file will not be created. REGRESSION POTENTIAL ---------------------------------- It's possible that _MarkForUpload will be set to False in more cases than it should be thereby preventing crashes from being sent to the Error Tracker. So it might also be good to SEGV a process and ensure that a .crash and .upload file are created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512902 Title: apport will create .upload files for incomplete or corrupt crash reports Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Wily: Triaged Bug description: SRU information appears in comment #3. apport will set an UnreportableReason in the following situations for crash reports where information collection fails or for packages that do not exist. From apport/ui.py: 1036 try: 1037 icthread.exc_raise() 1038 except (IOError, EOFError, zlib.error) as e: 1039 # can happen with broken core dumps 1040 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = '%s\n\n%s' % ( 1041 _('This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed.'), 1042 repr(e)) 1043 except ValueError: # package does not exist 1044 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('The report belongs to a package that is not installed.') 1045 except Exception as e: 1046 apport.error(repr(e)) 1047 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('An error occurred while attempting to ' 1048 'process this problem report:') + '\n\n' + str(e) Because an UnreportableReason exists in the report, apport will stop collecting information. Subsequently, there is "_MarkForUpload" is left as True (the default) so apport calls mark_report_upload which creates a .upload file such that the report which is incomplete or corrupt is then uploaded to the Error Tracker. In these cases the "_MarkForUpload" key should be set to "False" thereby preventing uploads to the Error Tracker.
