Hello Bruce, or anyone else affected, Accepted apport into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.11-0ubuntu27.27 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, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. 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 Focal) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Tags removed: verification-done ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal -- 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/1964828 Title: /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py crashed: KeyError: 'CasperMD5json' Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Jammy: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] If the user reports a bug and rejects to enter the root password for collecting information (like the CasperMD5json), the Ubuntu add_info hook will fail with a stack trace. The remaining code for collecting more information is not executed. So the resulting bug reports will be less helpful. The check_for_disk_error call is not reached and therefore skipped. [Test Plan] 1. Install Ubuntu (e.g. from ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso) 2. Open a terminal 3. Run: ubuntu-bug -f 4. Select "installer" and click on OK 5. Click on "abort" when ask for the password 6. The terminal should not show a stacktrace [Where problems could occur] The changed code is the Ubuntu add_info hook. So this hook could fail due to a regression or reveal bugs in the later code path. The later code path could cause more more load on the users machine (but only when the user wants to report the issue). Apport will catch failing add_info hooks and store the failure in the report.
