I installed apport 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.24 on Ubuntu GNOME 14.04. After adding the GNOME3 PPA, I got the PPA notice when I ran ubuntu-bug gnome- system-monitor. I did not get the notice when I ran ubuntu-bug witht an unrelated package (I tested with ubuntu-bug firefox).
I installed apport 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.6 on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04. With the GNOME3 Staging PPA, I got the expected PPA notice when I ran ubuntu-bug nautilus. I also got the notice (slightly different wording) when I ran ubuntu-bug firefox. This surprised me at first, but it's actually expected because Firefox depends on gtk3 and gtk3 is one of the updated packages in the 16.04 GNOME3 Staging PPA. When I tried with an unrelated package (ubuntu-bug ppa-purge), apport worked fine without showing me the notice. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689093 Title: modify ubuntu-gnome hook to set UnreportableReason for 14.04 and 16.04 Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------ As announced, the GNOME3 PPAs for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS are no longer being maintained as of April 2017. Therefore, the Ubuntu GNOME project would like to stop receiving bugs from packages installed from those PPAs for that version, or for 14.04 LTS which is no longer supported by Ubuntu GNOME. See https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3 Test Case --------- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Ubuntu 14.04: ubuntu-bug gnome-system-monitor Ubuntu 16.04: ubuntu-bug nautilus What should happen: After several moments, you should see a popup with The GNOME3 PPA you are using is no longer supported for this Ubuntu release. Please run "ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3". Clean up: sudo apt install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 Other Info ---------- Ubuntu GNOME has always installed ppa-purge by default. Regression Potential -------------------- People will be unable to report bugs with PPA packages like they used to but they'll be told why. The message unfortunately likely won't be translated right away, but since it will land in the development release, it should eventually be translated for future Ubuntu releases.
