[Bug 1766740] Re: apport autopkgtest regression due to kernel packaging changes

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Steve, 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!

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Bionic)

Title:
  apport autopkgtest regression due to kernel packaging changes

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

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]
  In bionic, linux-image-$kvers-$flavor is now built from the linux-signed source package on amd64, not from the linux source package.  This now causes a test to fail in the apport test suite:

  [...]

  FAIL: test_run_crash_kernel (__main__.T)
  run_crash() for a kernel error

  /autopkgtest-
  bionic/bionic/amd64/a/apport/20180424_222219_45dc8@/log.gz)

  This test needs to be fixed to know about the packaging change.

  Note that this packaging change is expected to soon be SRUed back to
  all Ubuntu releases, so apport's testsuite change should also be
  SRUed.

  [Test case]
  This passes if the autopkgtests pass.

  [Regression potential]
  The test could be changed to pass while leaving underlying issues in the code.  This has probably not happened here.
