** Description changed: + [Impact] + Apport does not inclue an important configuration file for determining the root cause of errors for some package installation failures. Since the majority of our bug reports come from stable releases it would be good to release the update to apport to Precise. Additionally, if we ask people to manually add /etc/default/grub they would have to manually remove any username and password infromation from it. Instead with the apport hook it is done automatically. + + [Test Case] + The apport modification will only include /etc/default/grub if a subset of packages fails to install in a specific way so creating a test case is somewhat challenging. + + [Regression Potential] + Its possible that something is wrong with the regular expression that searches DpkgTerminalLog and we won't actually receive /etc/default/grub. However, this is working in Quantal so is unlikely. + Package installation failures frequently happen due to configuration errors in /etc/default/grub which are encountered when running update- grub. It'd be good if apport would to collect /etc/default/grub using attach_default_grub from hookutils.py to collect this file so we can see what Ubuntu users are doing wrong.
