** Description changed: [Impact] The distribution upgrade process is passing to apport packages with numbers prepended to them, this then causes apport to crash and bugs about package installation failures not to be reported. [Test Case] 1) Install the package pure-ftpd on an 18.04 LTS system 2) Run 'do-release-upgrade -d' to upgrade to 20.04 LTS With the version of the dist-upgrader in the release pocket you'll receive the Traceback in comment #2. To test the dist-upgrader from -proposed you'll actually have to download and use the dist-upgrader tarball from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-proposed/main/dist- upgrader-all/current/focal.tar.gz. When running that version of the dist-upgrader you should not receive a Traceback and have a pure-ftpd- common crash file in /var/crash/. + This is actually also recreatable when upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04 and + that would be easier as you can use 'do-release-upgrader -p' to test the + new version of the dist-upgrader. + [Regression Potential] The code change is a just a simple check to see if the package name starts with a number which then removes the number. So the only chance of regression is the additional python code being bad which it isn't. Original Description -------------------- The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding apport. This problem was most recently seen with package version 2.20.11-0ubuntu40, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/976abccbca7b548c9ccf155c80c8eb6f36efa7de contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports. If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/.
