I'm being told by my producers that we need to update the crash counter logic to take the .seen and .upload files into account. And I guess we'll need to update whoopsie as well.

It's buggy because it suffers from a pretty big TOCTOU race, with a sizeable gap between the "check if seen" and "mark as seen" steps where apport collects some data about the crash. It's fragile because it relies on specific values for the mtime and atime filesystem attributes, and the latter is not that reliable: it depends on the FS atime granularity as well as mount options (noatime remaining a fairly popular one, and the default being relatime). Furthermore, anytime there is FS activity in the crash directory the script will check *all* crashes rather than whichever files triggered the systemd unit in the first place, exacerbating the issues. Sadly, I don't think that one is solvable. I believe this might be the actual culprit for bug 2066995 which we actually saw live at Ubuntu Summit on a demo Framework laptop :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/2087535/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
