** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done-xenial -- 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/1692127 Title: duplicate signature for Package problems can be too short Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Yakkety: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Zesty: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] apport is creating a shorter than appropriate duplicate signature in apport-package bug reports which can lead to misconsolidation and confused developers. [Test Case] 1) Boot a system with an old kernel installed or a freshly installed system 2) edit /etc/default/grub and replace a ` with a ' 3) Upgrade the kernel, watch it crash 4) Discover a crash report with a DuplicateSignature whose 2nd line starts with "Examining" With the version of the package from -proposed the DuplicateSignature in this case should really have a 2nd line that starts with 'Setting up linux-image* ...'. While in this particular case not much is lost in other cases valuable information will be missing. [Regression Potential] The code change is correct and has been tested in artful, additionally I'm using the same regular expression to clean up apport-package reports as they come in to LP. The only risk here is a typo in the patch that would cause the hook (the change is in the ubuntu general hook) to error out which apport would handle gracefully and we just wouldn't have a DuplicateSignature. [The Original Description] Steve brought up bug 1691983 and how it's duplicate signature is missing information. It contains: package:shim-signed:1.27~16.04.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1 Installing for x86_64-efi platform. Installation finished. No error reported. Running in non-interactive mode, doing nothing. dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 But is missing: Setting up shim-signed (1.27~16.04.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1) ... locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Passthrough debconf: (Cannot connect to /tmp/aptdaemon-7jrqb_du/debconf.socket: Connection refused at (eval 18) line 3.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Noninteractive This is because of the following code in data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: 145 PKG_MSGS = ('Authenticating', 'De-configuring', 'Examining', 146 'Installing ', 'Preparing', 'Processing triggers', 'Purging', 147 'Removing', 'Replaced', 'Replacing', 'Setting up', 148 'Unpacking', 'Would remove') 149 for line in termlog.split('\n'): 150 if line.startswith(PKG_MSGS): 151 dupe_sig = '%s\n' % line 152 continue The shim-signed package prints a line starts with "Installing " and that matches PKG_MSGS so we reset the dupe_sig because that's a message we'd expect from a package manager.
