Public bug reported:
apport in Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 includes in bug reports a file
JournalErrors.txt that is the recorded output of the command 'journalctl
-b --priority warning'. Apport also makes a best effort attempt to
filter out information that bug reporters would like to keep private,
like hostnames and usernames. However, the OneConf service is reporting
log entries to syslog/journald that look like:
Out 13 08:01:51 hostname com.ubuntu.OneConf[1120]:
WARNING:oneconf.hosts:Error in loading other_hosts file: [Errno 2] No
such file or directory:
'/home/USERNAME/.cache/oneconf/7ae519bec912345a6925fb2d5448031b/other_hosts'
... only with the actual home directory (and by extension username)
included in the path. Note that the hostname is correctly being filtered
(and replaced with 'hostname'), so some filtering is being applied to
this log file.
