[Bug 999890] Re: does not block follow up errors from earlier reports

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.156.14.9

---------------
update-manager (1:0.156.14.9) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * No change rebuild to pick up the fixed apt_clone.py

update-manager (1:0.156.14.8) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Fix removal_blacklist to blacklist "^screen$" instead of "screen".
    This fixes cases where the upgrade would fail because of a package
    containing "screen" being removed. (LP: #1029531)

update-manager (1:0.156.14.7) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py: call clone.save_state with
    scrub_sources set so that VarLogDistUpgradeAptclonesystemstate will be
    included in bug reports again (LP: #1029046)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeApport.py: check errormsg for the English version of
    the dependency problems error first (LP: #999890)
    - add apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz to white list of files to upload
  * In the apport source package hook collect apt-clone information if the bug
    report is about a distribution upgrade (LP: #1029046)
  * Don't throw exception on socket timeout when downloading metarelease file
    (LP: #818760)

Title:
  does not block follow up errors from earlier reports

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  update-manager wants to prevent reporting apport-package problems
  regarding follow up errors from earlier reports, however it is failing
  to do so in some cases.

  In DistUpgrade/DistUpgraeApport.py  we have the code to block the
  reporting:

      # we do not report followup errors from earlier failures
      if gettext.dgettext('dpkg', "dependency problems - leaving unconfigured") in errormsg: 
          return False

  This works great if your dpkg error messages are in your native
  language.  However, they aren't by default since the following upload
  in update-manager:

  update-manager (1:0.151.8) oneiric; urgency=low

    * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk.py:
      - set DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES to force untranslated dpkg
        terminal messages for easier package failure duplication
        detection

  So if someone has their language set to a language other than English,
  then gettext.dgettext() will look up the translated version of the
  'dependency problems' error message.  The translated version won't
  appear in the errormsg because we don't translate them anymore.

  This should be fixed in Quantal, Precise and Oneiric to prevent
  reporting of bugs we aren't interested in.
