Title:
conffiles prompt on vivid upgrade if report_metrics is enabled
Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in whoopsie-preferences package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
There is a potential conffiles prompt when upgrading to vivid if
report_metrics has been enabled, as we remove the report_crashes and
use service enablement.
Moving that value to a non conffiles (/ect/whoopsie) and using that in
whoopsie-preferences.
The conffile (/etc/default/whoopsie) was by default:
[General]
report_crashes=true
For now, we remove the "report_crashes" (job enablement value) in preinst
with sedding, and ship a new conffiles:
[General]
However, user might have changed the report metrics option in
gnome-control-center, privacy settings, resulting in:
[General]
report_crashes=true
report_metrics=true
Proposal:
1. we continue transitioning, removing "report_crashes" and cache that for
job enablement/disablement in postinst
2. we remove completely the conffile on upgrade/removal
3. we move report_metrics value (if present in conffiles) to /etc/whoopsie,
file with only
[General]
report_metrics= true
if report_metrics was set to true
4. we patch whoopsie g-c-c capplet to read/update from /etc/whoopsie
