[Bug 1773012] Re: kernel bugs in bionic are reported about linux-signed and package hook doesn't run

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 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 on 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-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

Title:
  kernel bugs in bionic are reported about linux-signed and package hook
  doesn't run

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  During the development of bionic the linux-image-$kvers-$flavor
  package was changed from being built from the linux package to the
  linux-signed package, however apport was not updated in bionic for
  this change. Subsequently, the apport package hook for linux doesn't
  run for linux-signed bug reports. Additionally, the kernel team would
  like reports about linux-signed redirected to the linux package.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) In a terminal run 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic'
  2) In the crash report dialog observe the following:
    a) The source package is linux-signed
    b) ProcFB is not included

  With the version of the package from -proposed the source package will
  be linux and ProcFB will be included. Also test 'ubuntu-bug linux-
  image-generic' to and check to see that the crash report contains the
  same information as above.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  The code that redirects bugs from linux-signed to linux was written and that change, if it were bad, could negatively affect bugs reported about the linux-meta package. So it'd be good to test that process by running 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic' with the -proposed version of the package.
