Hello Benjamin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be

hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. 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

Title:
  tests/integration/test_hookutils.py::T::test_recent_syslog fails on
  s390x

Status in Apport:
  Fix Released
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The recent syslog in Apport reports might not be complete. This bug
  causes the test_recent_syslog to fail sometimes.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Check that the fixed Apport does not have failing unit-and-
  integration-tests autopkgtests on all archs.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The patch fixes apport.hookutils.recent_syslog. This could lead to
  more syslog output in bug report making the report longer.

  [ Original report ]

  The Apport 2.29.0 test case
  `tests/integration/test_hookutils.py::T::test_recent_syslog` fails on
