[Bug 1512902] Proposed package removed from archive

[Martin Pitt]

The version of apport in the proposed pocket of Precise that was
purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs that
were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105 days)
fashion.

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix

Bug description:
  SRU information appears in comment #3.

  apport will set an UnreportableReason in the following situations for
  crash reports where information collection fails or for packages that
  do not exist.  From apport/ui.py:

  1036                 try:
  1037                     icthread.exc_raise()
  1038                 except (IOError, EOFError, zlib.error) as e:
  1039                     # can happen with broken core dumps
  1040                     self.report['UnreportableReason'] = '%s\n\n%s' % (
  1041                         _('This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed.'),
  1042                         repr(e))
  1043                 except ValueError:  # package does not exist
  1044                     self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('The report belongs to a package that is not installed.')
  1045                 except Exception as e:
  1046                     apport.error(repr(e))
  1047                     self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('An error occurred while attempting to '
  1048                                                           'process this problem report:') + '\n\n' + str(e)

  Because an UnreportableReason exists in the report, apport will stop
  collecting information. Subsequently, there is "_MarkForUpload" is
  left as True (the default) so apport calls mark_report_upload which
  creates a .upload file such that the report which is incomplete or
  corrupt is then uploaded to the Error Tracker.

  In these cases the "_MarkForUpload" key should be set to "False"
  thereby preventing uploads to the Error Tracker.
