[Bug 1098001] Re: DistUpgradeController calls apport with a source package as an argument

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:0.192.4

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:0.192.4) raring; urgency=low

  * Ensure that partial upgrades are fully translated (LP: #1072828) thanks to
    Gabor Kelemen for the initial patch.
  * Remove code enabling apport since it is always running (LP: #1068874)
  * check-new-release-gtk: set the correct translation domain thanks to Gabor
    Kelemen for patch (LP: #1093697)
  * DistUpgradeController.py: call apport-bug with the binary package name not
    the source package name (LP: #1098001)
  * source_ubuntu-release-upgrader.py: set the crash database to Ubuntu to
    allow reporting of bugs even if the package does not seem to be official
    (LP: #1067542)

Title:
  DistUpgradeController calls apport with a source package as an
  argument

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  Some errors encountered when upgrading from one Ubuntu release to another are not reported because of an improper call to apport.

  [ Test Case ]
  1) Create a file named /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/auf.cfg with the following contents:
  [Aufs]
  RWDir=/nonexistent-mntpoint/
  2) In a terminal run 'do-release-upgrade -d --sandbox'
  3) Observe an "Invalid problem report" dialog box and a message saying that "Package ubuntu-release-upgrader does not exist"

  -----
  In DistUpgradeController ubuntu-release-upgrader manually calls apport for multiple failure cases using the following:

  subprocess.Popen(["apport-bug", "ubuntu-release-upgrader"])

  However, ubuntu-release-upgrader is a source package and not a binary
  package like update-manager was.  Because it is a source package it
  fails an apport check (Package ubuntu-release-upgrader does not exist)
  and no bug report is created.
