The version of apport in the proposed pocket of Kinetic that was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because one or more bugs that were to be fixed by the upload have failed verification and been in this state for more than 10 days.

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.
