Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
While writing an Apport hook for 'upgrade-system', I needed to include
the APT log, which I've implemented using:
def add_info(report):
attach_file_if_exists(report, '/var/log/apt/term.log', 'AptLog')
However, this fails with an:
Error: [Errno 13] permission denied: /var/log/apt/term.log
Sure enough, permissions seem to be:
-rw------- 1 root root 86K 2009-07-25 12:18 /var/log/apt/term.log
Is there any rationale for not making this 644 instead? If there is,
how is someone supposed to implement the attachment of the log file,
then?
