They should print a proper error message instead of crashing. Test Plan ========= 1. Create malformed report: ``` printf "CoreDump: base64\n H4sICAAAAAAC/0NvcmVEdW1wAA==\n 7Z0LYFPV/cdP0rQ\n" > malformed.crash ``` 2. Try to unpack it: ``` apport-unpack malformed.crash unpack ``` It should print an error message instead of a stack trace. Where problems could occur ========================== The patch touches the problem report handling and therefore can affect apport-unpack, apport-bug, whoopsie-upload-all. The change is covered with tests and apport has a test suite running during build and as autopkgtest.
