Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed ** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588479 Title: dkms_packages.py supported kernel check is not working Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in dkms source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in dkms source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in dkms source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Bug description: Test Case --------- 1) Look for some dkms package in /usr/src e.g. bbswitch-0.8 2) Run python3 /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/dkms_packages.py -m bbswitch -v 0.8 -k 4.6.1-01234-lowlatency 3) Observe a crash report dialog from apport for bbswitch With the version of apport from -proposed you will instead receive: ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux- headers-4.6.1-01234-lowlatency is not supported The apport package hook for dkms packages seems to have an error in its supported kernel check. If the kernel is an unsupported one, the hook should exit with a return code of 1. However, in the Ubuntu Error Tracker we can see some crashes with unsupported kernel versions e.g.: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11 DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766 DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's do that.
