The reason primary groups are not included is because apport tries to exclude some information for privacy reasons and that includes user and group names. > This might be a totally separate issue, but will it be possible to > backport the 'N/A' fix to bionic? Its possible but not very likely. Could you explain your use case for using apport-unpack? -- Brian Murray -- 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/1427600 Title: apport-unpack: ValueError: ['UserGroups'] has no binary content Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in apport source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] apport-unpack crashes when trying to unpack a crash [Test Case] On a system running 20.04 LTS: 1) create an additional user who is only a member of their own group e.g. bdmurray@clean-focal-amd64:~$ id crashy uid=1001(crashy) gid=1001(crashy) groups=1001(crashy) 2) Launch a process as that user 3) kill -11 that process 4) Confirm there is a crash file in /var/crash for that process 5) Run apport-unpack on that .crash file With the version of apport from -proposed you will not get another crash file when unpacking the crash file. [Regression Potential] We are just setting UserGroups to 'N/A' as opposed to having it be completely empty so there isn't any chance for regression.
