apport (2.12.5-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Report.add_os_info(): Do not overwrite already existing data.
(LP: #1226776)
- kernel_oops hook: Collect uname at the time of invoking the hook,
instead of at data collection time. (LP: #1226776)
- Replace fixed size icons with PNGs, which are more efficient and avoid
rendering artifacts. (LP: #1231763)

Title:
linux package hook checks uname for KernelOops
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The linux package hook, provided by apport, contains the following
code:
def add_info(report, ui):
# If running an upstream kernel, instruct reporter to file bug upstream
abi = re.search("-(.*?)-", report['Uname'])
if abi and (abi.group(1) == '999' or re.search("^0\d", abi.group(1))):
Checking uname makes sense if some one is reporting a bug about the
running kernel, but not if apport has raised a crash report dialog for
a previous Oops. Here is a portion of one crash report:
ProblemType: KernelOops
...
Package: linux-image-3.10.0-031000-generic
...
Uname: Linux 3.12.0-031200rc1-generic x86_64
It should be investigated to see if this blocks sending crash reports
to the error tracker and if so the check should be modified not to use
uname at least for kerneloops.
