** Description changed: = Impact = If apport is not upgraded before a package installation failure happens the package installation failure mechanism will fail as it will try to use a feature of apport that isn't available. This prevents us from receiving some package install failures that we should receive. = Test Case= On a precise sytem - 1) run do-release-upgrade -d in a terminal + 1) run do-release-upgrade in a terminal 2) choose not to continue with the distribution upgrade when you see the Unity3D warning 3) cd to /tmp/update-manager-SOMETHING (this is where the dist-upgrader for quantal was downloaded) 4) download test.py from bug 1070043 5) in the quantal dist-upgrader folder run "sudo python test.py" 6) observe the error message 'package_hook: error: no such option: --tags' Now to use test the version from proposed: - 1) run do-release-upgrade -d -p in a terminal + 1) run do-release-upgrade -p in a terminal 2) choose not to continue with the distribution upgrade when you see the Unity3D warning 3) cd to /tmp/update-manager-SOMETHINGELSE (this is where the dist-upgrader for quantal from proposed was downloaded) 4) copy test.py from /tmp/update-manager-SOMETHING to /tmp/update-manager-SOMETHINGELSE 5) in the SOMETHINGELSE folder run "sudo python test.py" 6) there should not be an error in the terminal 7) confirm that there is a /var/crash/2vcard.0.crash file During a failed upgrade, I saw these errors, indicating that the apport package hook hadn't been upgraded before attempting to call some new features: dpkg: error processing libasyncns0 (--configure): no package named `libasyncns0' is installed, cannot configure Setting up libjson0:amd64 (0.10-1ubuntu1) ... Usage: package_hook [options] package_hook: error: no such option: --tags
