[Bug 1616517] Please test proposed package

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted whoopsie into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/0.2.52.2
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  whoopsie does not send fields from some package management application
  crashes

Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in whoopsie source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in whoopsie source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The package hook for update-manager and aptdaemon add information like
  /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/apt/history.log that would be
  useful in debugging crashes from those applications.  However, those
  files can be larger than 1 KB so whoopsie does not send them to the
  Error Tracker.  We should be sending those fields along.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) launch update-manager
  2) kill -11 the update-manager process
  3) locate the update-manager .crash file and observe DpkgHistoryLog.txt in it
  4) send crash report to Error Tracker (look for .uploaded file)
  5) view crash report in Error Tracker (find OOPS ID by looking at syslog / whoopsie status)
  6) observe DpkgHistoryLog.txt not in it

  With the version of the package from -proposed DpkgHistoryLog.txt
  should appear on the OOPS page for the crash that was sent.
