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, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-eoan. 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: apport (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 apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774843 Title: apport python exception for python versions which python-apt is not built on Status in Apport: New Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in python3.7 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in python3.8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in apport source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in python3.7 source package in Bionic: Won't Fix Status in python3.8 source package in Bionic: Won't Fix Status in apport source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Status in python3.7 source package in Eoan: Won't Fix Status in python3.8 source package in Eoan: Won't Fix Status in apport source package in Focal: Invalid Status in python3.7 source package in Focal: Invalid Status in python3.8 source package in Focal: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] apport's python crash handler runs for every installed version of python e.g. on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS it will run for crashes with python3.6 or python3.7 as an interpreter. However, python apt modules are only available for the the supported version of python so the crash handler generates an exception which is annoying. [Test Case] 1) Install the non-default version of python3 e.g. python3.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. 2) Run 'python3.7 -c 'print hello' and observe a Traceback re apt_pkg not being found. With the version of python3-apport from -proposed you'll not receive the Traceback from step # 2. [Regression Potential] Its possible the crash handler change is incorrect so it should be confirmed that we still get python crashes about the system version of python. One way to do this is to run 'apport-cli coreutils < /dev/null'. [NOTE] It isn't necessary to fix this in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, as there is only python3.8 available, so I haven't. [Original Description] it seems apport installs an exception hook whenever running python3. This hook is apparently installed for python3.7 too. This exception handler has a dependency on apt_pkg, which is a binary that is not compatible with python3.7 it seems (you can't import it, see below) As a result, whenever I run a python3.7 script and run into an exception (which happens often when writing code), I get an additional exception in the exception handler + a copy of the original exception, so three stacktraces in total. A solution would be to only install the exception hook for the system python i.e. python3.6 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 apport: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 python-apt: 1.6.0 python3.7: 3.7.0~b3-1 Demo with a trivial error: $ python3 -c 'print hello' File "<string>", line 1 print hello ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'.
