** Description changed:
- aptdaemon includes a file named crash.py which is supposed to create
- apport problem reports for a given crash. However, searching through bug
- attachments for aptdaemon bug reports I don't see any with the key
- "TransactionRole" in any recent bug reports.
+ [Impact]
+ aptdaemon ships its own crash handler which is not working and subsequently
crash reports are not being created about aptdaemon. Given that aptdaemon is
the package manager behind update-manager it'd be good to get crash reports
from it.
- $ grep -r TransactionRole *
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) cd /
+ 2) Run 'sudo python3 aptdaemon.crash'
+ 3) Look for a crash file in /var/crash named '_usr_sbin_aptd.0.crash'
+
+ With the current version aptdaemon no crash file will be created. With
+ the version of aptdaemon from -proposed. there will be a crash file and
+ if you view it you will see "Title: test" and "Traceback: testtrace" in
+ the file.
+
+ [Regression Test Case]
+ After creating a .crash file with the version of aptdaemon from -proposed run
'sudo python3 aptdaemon.crash' again. You should receive a 'FileExistsError'
traceback from apport.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Aptdaemon is being updated to use a function that was renamed in apport so
there is little chance of regression. However, we are removing a file exists
check (which should now be handled by apport) so we should double check that an
existing crash file doesn't get overwritten.
+
+ [Original Description]
+ aptdaemon includes a file named crash.py which is supposed to create apport
problem reports for a given crash. However, searching through bug attachments
for aptdaemon bug reports I don't see any with the key "TransactionRole" in any
recent bug reports.
+
+ $ grep -r TransactionRole *

It seems likely that either "trans" is null, or something is wrong with
aptdaemon's crash handler.
