Brian Murray has proposed merging lp:~brian-murray/ubuntu/oneiric/apport/package-dupe-sig into lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/oneiric/apport/ubuntu.

  Bug #368435 in apport (Ubuntu): "could tag file conflicts installation issues"

This branch adds a DuplicateSignature tag to apport-package installation failures allowing them to be marked as duplicates by the retracer.  For example:

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10
DuplicateSignature:
 Setting up pytrainer (1.8.0-3) ...
 dpkg: error processing pytrainer (--configure):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status
PackageArchitecture: all


I've tested this by installing the ubuntu general hook and creating a package installation failure as seen above.  Additionally, I've written code to do the same thing and produced DuplicateSignatures for a collection of DpkgTerminalLog files which I have locally and it works well.
