This causes whoopsie to fail reading and uploading the crash report. So a lot of Python crashes were not reporting and keeping us blind. [ Test Plan ] 1. Reconstruct the problem by setting the permission of /var/crash to 1777. 2. Upgrade Apport to the fixed version 3. Verify that /var/crash has the permission 3777 after the update. 4. Run and crash a random Python script (needs to be from a Ubuntu package) 5. Verify that the Python crash was correctly uploaded. [ Where problems could occur ] The fix touched the /var/crash permission and the apport.service startup code. This might lead to failures on custom setup (despite using similar postinst code than whoopsie). This fix might still not address the initial bug report of reporting crashes in a loop. In this case a follow-up bug report should be started. [ Original report ] /var/crash has the following contents: -rw-r----- 1 vorlon vorlon 107490 May 23 16:05 _usr_bin_gourmand.1000.crash -rw-rw-r-- 1 vorlon vorlon 0 May 23 16:06 _usr_bin_gourmand.1000.upload -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 5 May 23 16:07 _usr_bin_gourmand.1000.uploaded -rw-r----- 1 vorlon vorlon 23647 May 23 13:57 _usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.crash -rw-rw-r-- 1 vorlon vorlon 0 May 23 13:59 _usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.upload -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 5 May 23 13:59 _usr_bin_python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script.1000.uploaded As seen, the .upload / .uploaded files were created within 2 minutes of each of the crashes. But after submitting the crash report for /usr/bin/python-argcomplete- check-easy-install-script, I left my desktop for a while. I came back to find at least TWENTY dialogs prompting me to submit the same crash report. The only way to stop the system from creating more prompts is to remove these files from disk.
