I was testing in a chroot and thought that the creation of /var/crash/2vcard.0.crash was an indication that the filter was not working. This is not infact the case as dpkg / apt writes the crash file and then apport processes it when it notices the crash file or you run apport-cli /var/crash/2vcard.0.crash. Having run that in the chroot with the proposed version of apport I received the following:
*** Problem in 2vcard The problem cannot be reported: This failure was caused by a corrupted package download or file system corruption. Which is what we want - changing the tag to verification-done. ** Tags removed: verification-failed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002535 Title: 'not a debian format' package install failures should be Unreportable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1002535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
