apport (0.78) gutsy; urgency=low
.
* apport/packaging.py, backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Add new interface
is_distro_package(package) which verifies the origin of a given package.
Move the dodgy hack from apport/ui.py to the backend, where it belongs to.
Also add a test case.
* debian/control: Add python-apt dependency to python-apport.
* debian/control: Remove debianutils dependency, it's essential.
* Drop backends/packaging-dpkg.py. It had some hackish usage of python-apt
anyway, since some things just cannot be figured out with dpkg alone.
Since we have to give up on that idea, implement a new clean packaging
backend 'packaging-apt-dpkg.py' which now uses python-apt and dpkg in a
clean way.
* apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Fix crash when Stacktrace could not be
created. (LP: #107853)
* ./test-apport: Check that crashes create a core dump (with proper ulimits)
when an unseen crash report exists already. This reproduces LP #105976.
* bin/apport: Create core dump file if aborting because an unseen crash
report already exists. (LP: #105976)
* apport/ui.py: Add a comment for translators. (LP: #104703)
* apport/ui.py, load_report(): Also catch zlib.error on invalid reports.
(LP: #103547)
* apport/report.py: Add method has_useful_stacktrace() to determine whether
the stack trace can be considered useful. The current heuristic is to
consider it useless if it either is shorter than three lines and has any
unknown function, or for longer traces, a minority of known functions. Add
test cases.
* gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt, cli/apport-cli: Do not offer 'reduced
report' option if the stack trace is useless. (LP: #87430) Bump the
python-apport dependencies of the frontend packages to ensure that we have
has_useful_stacktrace().
