Hello Pedro, or anyone else affected, Accepted procps into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/2:3.3.12-3ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1839329 Title: pgrep: allows long command lines to be searched e.g. java process with long classpath Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in procps source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in procps source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in procps source package in Disco: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] The pgrep -f and pkill -f commands are unable to find processes strings in processes which are beyond the 4096th character. This often happens with Java command lines with long classpaths on the command line. [Test Case] A quick test to reproduce this is to vi a file using a filename over 4k $ vi $(seq 1 1250| paste -s -d'_')_foo.txt) and leave vi running then run from another terminal $ pgrep -af 'foo.txt' to find it. Without the fix, one will only see the first 4096 chars, while the expected behaviour would be: $ pgrep -af 'foo.txt' 27667 vi

[Potential Regression] The proposal merge are a few months old, and no upstream comment/involvement since then. If we fix that in Ubuntu, we will have to carry the patch at each release until Upstream take action (if they take action one day). The patch is simple and easy to carry over. The potential regression could be that one discard the patch in future merge, and re-introduce the previous CMDSTRSIZE value.(Due to the fact that upstream haven't accept the patch yet) I don't foresee any problem in increasing the value from "4096 to "16384". IMHO, it's a little bit too much, but will benefit user who uses java application with long classpath. [Other Infos] This bug is a mirror of what has already been reported in GitLab, through the merge request #85 [1], and has been previously reported at the merge request #80 [2], with no response/reply. Let me know if further information is needed, at this point, to proceed. Thanks!
