Creating specially crafted core files in /etc/logrotate.d or similar could then lead to arbitrary code execution with root privileges. Now core files do not get written for these kinds of programs, in accordance with the intention of core(5). Thanks to Sander Bos for discovering this issue! (CVE-2015-1324, LP: #1452239) - SECURITY UPDATE: When writing a core dump file for a crashed packaged program, don't close and reopen the .crash report file but just rewind and re-read it. This prevents the user from modifying the .crash report file while "apport" is running to inject data and creating crafted core dump files. In conjunction with the above vulnerability of writing core dump files to arbitrary directories this could be exploited to gain root privileges.

The previous fix in 2.17.1 was not sufficient against all attack scenarios. By binding to specially crafted sockes, a normal user program could forge arbitrary entries in /proc/net/unix. We cannot currently rely on a kernel-side solution for this; this feature will be re-enabled once it gets re-done to be secure. (LP: #1444518) - apport-kde: Fix crash when showing byte array values.

Version 2.13 introduced forwarding a crash to a container's apport. By crafting a specific file system structure, entering it as a namespace ("container"), and crashing something in it, a local user could access arbitrary files on the host system with root privileges.

Prerequisite for LP #1352591. - sandboxutils.py, make_sandbox(): Drop check for already existing files when dynamically resolving libraries and ExecutablePaths; with that, these packages would never get updated in a permanent sandbox.

Changes since our previous merge: - Do not report keys starting with '_' to the crash database. This can be used for keeping private keys in .crash files between crash and report time, or to store data between hooks etc., without cluttering reports. - UI: In "run all pending crashes" mode, skip reports that happened during logout in a desktop (specifically, logind) session; they are uninteresting and confusing to see at the next login. (LP: #1033932) They can still be reported manually with running the .crash file directly, but this sufficiently reduces the need to explicitly flag whether the report concerns a logout crash. (LP: #1067646) - Add support for PID namespaces (Linux containers): Crashes originating from a container on a system running a >= 3.12 kernel will be automatically redirected to apport inside the container, or ignored if apport is not installed in the container.

Annotate apport-retrace with it. - hookutils.py: Allow specifying a list of profile names when using attach_mac_events(). Thanks Marc Deslauriers. - hookutils.py, attach_root_command_outputs() and root_command_output(): Drop usage of sudo, kdesudo, and gksu, and replace with pkexec. For attach_root_command_outputs(), use a wrapper and proper .policy file which explains the action and works under every environment; thus attach_root_command_outputs() is preferred over root_command_output() now, as it provides a better user experience. - Package hooks which want to send the report to a different crash database than "default" can now also give the database specification itself in the "CrashDB" field, not just the DB name. With this, packages do not need to ship a separate /etc/apport/crashdb.conf.d/ file. Please see doc/package-hooks.txt for details. (LP: #551330) - report.py, add_hooks_info(): If reporting against a package/program in /opt, also search for package hooks in the corresponding /opt directory.

Changes since our previous snapshot: - Add new "RecoverableProblem" report type for problems which the application can handle, but still wishes to notify the user and send a problem report about. As an example, the application may wish to notify the user because handling the error resulted in degraded functionality. The user interface may fail to load items, or the action just performed may not return any data. Applications call /usr/share/apport/recoverable_problem with a string of arbitrary NUL-separated key/value pairs that are added to the report. Thanks Evan Dandrea! - launchpad.py: Fix setting of 'Medium' importance on duplicate checking. - apport-retrace: Fix StacktraceSource generation for relative --cache paths. - crashdb.py, check_duplicate(): Do not try to mark a bug as duplicate of itself.

It almost never works on staging and is horribly slow. Fake the bug creation from a blob by manually creating the comment and attachments ourselves, and just assume that storeblob works on production. Also change the structure to allow running every test individually. - crash-digger: Add --crash-db option to specify a non-default crash database name. (LP: #1003506) - apport-gtk: Add --hanging option to specify the process ID of a hanging application. If the user chooses to report this error, apport will terminate the pid with SIGABRT, otherwise it will send SIGKILL. The normal core pipe handler will be used to process the resulting report file, with a .hanging file in /var/crash to separate these from regular crashes. - apport: Also treat a binary as modified if the /proc/pid/exe symlink does not point to an existing file any more. (LP: #984944) - Fix PEP-8 violations picked up by latest pep8 checker. - ui.py: Do not ignore certain exceptions during upload which are not likely to be a network error. - launchpad.py: Recongize Launchpad projects for bug query and marking operations.

If the core file size is limited, we otherwise stop reading the core dump from the kernel in the middle and have no (or a broken) core dump to be put into the report. - data/apport: Properly close the written crash report before changing its permissions to be readable.

(LP: #966562) - apport_python_hook.py: Fix filtering of org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply exceptions. (LP: #958575) - crashdb.py: When publishing the crash database, cut hash file names after quoting, to avoid that the quoting causes them to become too long. (LP: #968070) This also uncovered that known() did not actually find any signature which contained an URL-quoted character, therefore breaking client-side duplicate checking in a lot of cases. Double-quote the file name now, as urlopen() unquotes it. - Add a new crash database option "problem_types" and a CrashDatabase method "accepts(report)". This can be used to stop uploading particular problem report types to that database. E. g. a distribution might decide to not get "Crash" reports any more after release. Document the new option in doc/crashdb-conf.txt. - ui.py: Do not upload a report if the crash database does not accept the report's type. This behaviour is not really correct, but necessary as long as we only support a single crashdb and have whoopsie hardcoded. Once we have multiple crash dbs, we need to not even present the data if none of the DBs wants the report. See LP #957177 for details. (LP: #968121) - ui.py: Do not short-circuit information collection if report already has a "DistroRelease" field, as the GUIs add that in some cases. Check for "Dependencies" instead. This fixes information collection for kernel problems (which now has a full GTK GUI test case). (LP: #968488) * Merge from trunk: - test_ui_gtk.py: Disable package hooks for the tests, as they might ask for sudo passwords and other interactive bits, and thus make the tests hang. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:38:02 +0200 apport (1.95-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low [ Martin Pitt ] * New upstream release: - apport-gtk, apport-kde: When reporting a "system crash", don't say "... of this program version", but "...of this type", as we don't show a program version in the initial dialog (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#error) (LP: #961065) - problem_report.py, write_mime(): Do not put a key inline if it is bigger than 1 kB, to guard against very long lines. (LP: #957326) - etc/cron.daily/apport: Do not remove whoopsie's *.upload* stamps every day, only if they are older than a week. whoopsie comes with its own cron job which deals with them.

(LP: #961410) - apport-gtk: Do not compare current continue button label against a translated string. Instead just remember whether or not we can restart the application. (LP: #960439) - hookutils.py, command_output(): Add option to keep the locale instead of disabling it. - hookutils.py, command_output(): Actually make the "input" parameter work, instead of causing an eternal hang. Add tests for all possible modes of operation. - hooktuils.py: Change root_command_output() and attach_root_command_outputs() to disable translated messages (LC_MESSAGES=C) only as part of the command to be run, not already for the root prefix command. This will keep the latter (gksu, kdesudo, etc.) translated. (LP: #961659) - apport-gtk: Cut off text values after 4000 characters, as Gtk's TreeView does not get along well with huge values. KDE's copes fine, so continue to display the complete value there. (LP: #957062) - apport-gtk: Make details window resizable in bug reporting mode. - crashdb.py, known(): Check the address signature duplicate database if the symbolic signature exists, but did not find any result. (LP: #103083) - ui.py: Run anonymization after checking for duplicates, to prevent host or user names which look like hex numbers to corrupt the stack trace. (LP: #953104) - apport-gtk: Require an application to both have TERM and SHELL in its environment to consider it a command line application that was started by the user. (LP: #962130) - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _check_files_md5(): Fix double encoding, which caused UnicodeDecodeErrors on non-ASCII characters in an md5sum file. (LP: #953682) - apport-kde, apport-gtk: Only show "Relaunch" if the report has a ProcCmdline, otherwise we cannot restart it.

(LP: #941854) - apport: Fix crash if the "whoopsie" group does not exist. (LP: #942326) - report.py, crash_signature(): Do not put "" frames into Python crash signatures that happen outside of function/method calls. Fall back to the file/line number as a frame description instead. This will do a much better job at disambiguating e. g. different ImportError crashes. (LP: #920403) - Make "binary changed since the time of the crash" error message more comprehensible, thanks Paolo Rotolo. (LP: #942830) - crashdb.py, check_duplicate(): It can happen that a bug gets identified as being a duplicate of bug S by symbolic signatures and a duplicate of bug A by address signatures. Empirical evidence shows that this is due to the unavoidable jitter in stack traces (A and S not being identified as duplicates as their signatures differ slightly) and not a logic error. So instead of erroring out, duplicate all three bugs and keep the lowest number as the master ID. (LP: #943117) - Revert the usage of multiple nested threads during data collection, and switch back to only using one UI thread. The UI implementations can, and now do, decide between showing a spinner and showing a progress dialog in the ui_*_info_collection_progress() methods. This fixes libX11 crashes when multiple UI threads do changes concurrently (LP: #901675), and also avoids multi-thread induced crashes in Pango (LP: #943661). The removal of the collect() method also fixes the new crashes in it. (LP: #942098, #939803) - ui.py, get_desktop_entry(): Fix crash on uninstalled package.

Use the DistroRelease: field. - apport-kde: Fix Home page URL in KApplication metadata. - apport-gtk: Fix resizability and size after hiding details. (LP: #405418) - test/run: Drop "local" argument. This now tests against the source tree when run in the source tree root, and against the system libraries/programs when run from anywhere else. - test/run: Consider command line arguments as test names and only run those when given. Also support just running a single test. - testsuite: Force the skipping of online tests when $SKIP_ONLINE_TESTS is set. - hookutils.py, xsession_errors(): Add a reasonable default pattern which matches glib-style warnings, errors, criticals etc. and X window errors. In data/general-hooks/generic.py, call it with that default instead of the rather incomplete custom pattern. (LP: #932660) - packaging.py: Add get_package_origin() method, and implement it for apt-dpkg. - report.py, add_package_info(): Add "[origin: ...]" tag to "Package" and "Dependencies" fields for any package which is not native to the distribution. If any such package is present, tag the report with "third-party-packages" in data/general-hooks/generic.py. (LP: #927912) - apport/packaging.py: Add get_uninstalled_package() method as a helper method for the test suite. Use it instead of a hardcoded Debian/Ubuntu specific name in test/test_hooks.py. - test/test_ui_{gtk,kde}.py: Add test cases for complete UI workflow runs for reporting a bug against an installed/uninstalled package, and reporting a crash with and without showing details. This reproduces the recent crashes like LP #901675 or LP #943661. - test_ui.py: Add a test case for reporting a complete report on uninstalled package. This happens when reporting a problem from a different machine through copying a .crash file. - test/run: Add a test that there are no hardcoded "Ubuntu" words in the source. The code should use the DistroRelease: field or lsb_release. * debian/apport-retrace.install: Ship crash-digger.

Bump the db format to "3". Existing databases need to be migrated manually as SQLite does not allow adding a "PRIMARY KEY" constraint to existing tables. - crashdb.py: Do not add a new address signature entry if one already exists. - apport-cli: Fix UnicodeDecodeError on unicode report values.

Current (e)glibc turned __abort_msg from a simple static string into a struct. - Change permissions of .crash files from 0600 to 0640, so that /var/crash can be made g+s and crash handling daemons can access those. - Python exceptions: Blacklist DBus.Error.NoReply.

(LP: #869970) - report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add a new field "StacktraceAddressSignature" which is a heuristic signature for signal crashes. This should be used if crash_signature() fails, i. e. the Stacktrace field does not have enough symbols. This can be used to check for duplicates on the client side, provided that the crash database server supports querying for these. Do not expose this field when uploading to crash databases though, as it can be recomputed from the already existing information (ProcMaps and Stacktrace) and thus would just clutter the reports. - crashdb.py: Add a table "version" with the database format version. Add automatic upgrading to the most current format. - crashdb.py: Put address signatures from reports checked with check_duplicate() into the duplicate database, so that implementations of known() can check for these. - dupdb-admin: Add "publish" dupdb-admin command which exports the duplicate database into a set of text files suitable for WWW publishing. - crashdb.py: Add new method "known(report)" which can be implemented to check if the crash db already knows about the crash signature. If so, the report will not be uploaded, and instead the user will be directed to the existing report URL (if available), similar to bug patterns. The default implementation checks this format, if the crash database is initialized with a "dupdb_url" option pointing to the exported database. - launchpad.py: Override known() to check if the master bug is actually accessible by the reporter, and is not tagged with "apport-failed-retrace" or "apport-request-retrace"; otherwise file it anyway. - crash-digger: Add --publish-db option to conveniently integrate duplicate DB publication (similar to dupdb-admin publish) into retracer setups. - launchpad.py: Attach updated stack traces from a duplicate to the master bug if it failed retracing previously or has an "apport-request-retrace" tag.

This also changes the format to avoid indenting each line with a space, and visually set apart the keys in a better way. - apport_python_hook.py: Move tests out of this file into test/python, to avoid having to parse the unit tests at each Python startup. - test/python: Also make tests work if Python hook is not installed in system's sitecustomize.py. - packaging.py: Add get_modified_conffiles() API, and implement it in packaging-apt-dpkg.py. - hookutils.py: Add attach_conffiles(). - hookutils.py: Add attach_upstart_overrides(). - launchpad.py: Remove "Ubuntu" in bug response, replace with "this software". (LP: #883234) - apport-kde: Rearrange order of imports to get intended error message if PyKDE is not installed. - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Ignore hardening-wrapper diversions, to make gcc_ice_hook work if hardening-wrapper is installed. - apport_python_hook: Respect $APPORT_REPORT_DIR. - apport_python_hook: Limit successive crashes per program and user to 3 per day, just like signal crashes. (LP: #603503) - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Skip online tests when there is no default route. - ui.py: Fix test suite to not fail if system has some obsolete or non-distro packages. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:45:08 -0400 apport (1.24-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low * New upstream release 1.23.1: - apport/crashdb.py: Ensure that duplicate table only has one entry per report ID. - apport-retrace: Pass correct executable path to gdb in --gdb with --sandbox mode. - apport-retrace: Do not leave behind temporary directories on errors. - apport-retrace: Drop assertion failure for existance of "Stacktrace". This isn't present in the case of gdb crashing, and there is not much we can do about it. This should not break the retracer. - apport/report.py: Unwind XError() from stack traces for the "StacktraceTop" field, as they take a significant part of the trace. This causes bugs to be duplicated which really have different causes. * New upstream release 1.24: - apport-retrace: Add --timestamp option to prepend a timestamp to log messages. This is useful for batch operations. - crash-digger: Call apport-retrace with --timestamps, to get consistent timestamps in log output. - hookutils.py: Add two new functions attach_gsettings_package() and attach_gsettings_schema() for adding user-modified gsettings keys to a report. (LP: #836489) - hookutils.py: Add new function in_session_of_problem() which returns whether the given report happened in the currently running XDG session. This can be used to determine if e. g. ~/.xsession-errors is relevant and should be attached. - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Also copy apt/sources.list.d/ into sandbox. - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Install apt keyrings from config dir or from system into sandbox. (LP: #856216) - packaging.py, backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Define that install_packages() should return a SystemError for broken configs/unreachable servers etc., and fix the apt/dpkg implementation accordingly. - apport-retrace: Don't crash, just give a proper error message if servers are unreachable, or configuration files are broken. (LP: #859248) - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix crash when /etc/apport/native-origins.d contains any files. (LP: #865199) - hookutils, recent_logfile(): Fix invalid return value if log file is not readable. (LP: #819357) - test/crash: Fix race condition in the "second instance terminates immediately" check. - hookutils.py: Replace attach_gconf() with a no-op stub. It used static python modules like "gconf" which broke the PyGI GTK user interface, and gconf is rather obsolete these days. - ui.py, open_url(): Greatly simply and robustify by just using xdg-open. This already does the right thing wrt. reading the default browser from GNOME, KDE, XCE, and other desktops. (LP: #198449) - data/general-hooks/generic.py: Only attach ~/.xsession_errors if the bug is reported in the same XDG session as the crash happened. (LP: #869974) - Ignore crashes for programs which got updated in between the crash and reporting. (LP: #132904) - Special-case crashes of 'twistd': Try to determine the client program and assign the report to that, or fail with an UnreportableReason. (LP: #755025) - apport-gtk: In bug update mode, make details dialog resizable and fix default size. (LP: #865754) - apport-gtk: Fix crash if report does not have ProcCmdline. (LP: #854452) - hookutils.py, attach_wifi(): Anonymize ESSID and AP MAC from "iwconfig" output. (LP: #746900) - test/crash: Fix test failure if user is not in any system groups. - test/crash: Change to /tmp/ for test crash process, to fix failure if the user that runs the test suite cannot write into the current directory. (LP: #868695) - ui.py: Improve error message if package is not a genuine distro package. Thanks to Ronan Jouchet. (LP: #559345) * debhelper/dh_apport: Install debian/source.apport into the first binary package only, as per documentation.

(LP: #851450) [ Brian Murray ] * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: also check CurrentDmesg for disk errors as some package hooks add it * data/package-hooks/source_debian-installer.py: for dmraid collection use attach_root_command_outputs (LP: #856826) -- Martin Pitt Wed, 28 Sep 2011 07:12:19 +0200 apport (1.23-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low [ Brian Murray ] * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Do not create a DuplicateSignature for bugs with a Traceback included as it is redundant [ Martin Pitt ] * New upstream release: - crashdb.py, crash-digger, dupdb-admin: Drop the concept of "duplicate DB consolidation". Such massive queries cause timeouts with e. g. Launchpad. Instead, update the status of potential master bugs in the crash DB whenever check_duplicate() is called. Note that this does not affect Ubuntu itself, just the retracers in the data center. - launchpad.py: Fix crash in close_duplicate() if master bug was already marked as a duplicate of the examined bug. - problem_report.py, load(): Fix missing last character if the last line in a multi-line field is not terminated with a newline. - launchpad.py: Fix test_marking_python_task_mangle() check to work with current Launchpad. - apport-retrace: If the user did not specify a --cache directory, create a shared one instead of letting the two install_packages() calls create their own. This ensures that the apt and dpkg status is up to date, and avoids downloading the package indexes multiple times. (LP: #847951) - apport-retrace: Give proper error mesage instead of AssertionError crash if a report does not contain standard Apport format data. (LP: #843221) - fileutils.py, get_new_reports(): Fix crash if report file disappears in the middle of the operation. (LP: #640216) - apport/ui.py, load_report(): Intercept another case of broken report files. (LP: #445142) - apport/report.py, standard_title(): Escape regular expression control characters in custom exception names. (LP: #762998) * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Fix crash if prepare_duplicate_signature() does not return anything. (LP: #843911) * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2 (no changes necessary). -- Martin Pitt Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:29:03 +0200 apport (1.22.1-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: include apport version in bug reports since apport contains code for blocking bug reports and source package hooks -- Brian Murray Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:09:57 +0200 apport (1.22.1-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low [ Martin Pitt ] * New upstream release: - dupdb-admin: Add "removeid" command. - dupdb-admin: Use the in-memory CrashDB implementation for simple operations like dump or changeid, which do not require an actual backend. This makes the command work in checkouts without a /etc/apport/crashdb.conf. - dupdb-admin: Fix UnicodeEncodeError crash. - launchpad.py: Fix crash if a crash report does not have a DistroRelease. - Set the default "Apport" title for choice dialogs instead of the default apport-gtk title. Thanks Robert Roth. (LP: #608222) - apport-gtk: Update markup_escape_text() call to current glib. (LP: #829635) * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Only set a DuplicateSignature and change the source package if we are reporting a package or program crash, not for ProblemType == 'Bug'. [ Brian Murray ] * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: check the device holding /, /var and /usr partitions for I/O errors and if they exist make the bug unreportable * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Use attachment OemConfigLog to determine whether or not to tag the bug oem-config not information in syslog -- Martin Pitt Tue, 06 Sep 2011 08:16:46 +0200 apport (1.22-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Fix crash on undefined 'version'.

[ Martin Pitt ] * New upstream release: - Completely rework apport-retrace to use gdb's "debug-file-directory" and "solib-absolute-prefix" settings and only unpack the necessary packages in a temporary directory. This makes it possible to use it in a running system without actually touching installed packages, does not need any root privileges, and stops the requirement of using chroots with fakechroot and fakeroot. This is a lot easier to maintain and use, and a lot faster, too. As a consequence, drop the chroot module, and update crash-digger accordingly. See "man apport-retrace" for the new usage. It is now also easier to port to other packaging backends, as a lot of the common logic moved out of the packaging API; packaging.install_retracing_packages() got dropped in favor of the simpler packaging.install_packages(). (LP: #832740) - launchpad.py: When searchTasks() times out, exit with 99 as this is a transient error. - crash-digger: Intercept OverflowError from downloaded compressed attachments. - crash-digger: Show how many bugs are left in the pool with each new retrace. * Drop debian/local/apport-chroot and manpage, and ubuntu-fat-chroot. These are obsolete now with the new apport-retrace. * Drop debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Most of it is obsolete now, setting up a retracer merely needs an lp:apport checkout and creating an apt sources file, we don't need a script for that any more. * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix invalid "continue" statement in DuplicateSignature code.

Changes since our previous snapshot: - Add apport.packaging.get_library_paths() interface and implement it for backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py using dpkg multiarch directories. Use it in chroot.py. This unbreaks apport-chroot for oneiric. - hookutils.py: Don't attach empty values. Thanks Bryce Harrington. (LP: #813798) - apport-gtk: Correctly pass message dialog type. - apport-gtk: Fix GLib and GObject imports to be compatible with the future pygobject 3.0. - hookutils.py, attach_alsa(): Get a list of outputs/inputs that PulseAudio knows about, which also shows the currently selected output/input, as well as volumes. This should help with "no sound" bug troubleshooting.

This helps crash notification GUIs to not display new crash reports in that case. Thanks to Michael Vogt for the original patch. - Add data/is-enabled: Shell script to check if apport is enabled. Non-Python programs (which can't use apport.packaging.enabled() ) can call this instead of having to parse /etc/default/apport themselves, and just check the exit code.

This allows bug patterns to be written which are not package specific, and is easier to maintain as well.

(LP: #218933) - launchpad.py: Drop APPORT_FILES whitelist for download() and instead just filter out file extensions that we know about (*.txt and *.gz). (LP: #444975) - launchpad.py: Do not put the Tags: field into the bug description, since they are already proper tags. In download(), convert the real tags back to the Tags: field. (LP: #505671) - test/crash: Update expected core dump flags for changed rlimit behaviour in Linux 2.6.32. - launchpad.py: Fix marking of 'checked for duplicate' for bugs with upstream tasks. - launchpad.py, get_fixed_version(): Do not consider a bug as invalid just because it has any invalid distro package task. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Switch to lucid. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Do not locally install python-apt and friends, users can run apt-get install in DC dchroots now. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Don't add the retracer PPA for now, everything we need is in lucid. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:51:15 +0100 apport (1.11-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low * ubuntu.py: Avoid errors when running on ramdiskless EC2 images, by only attaching available EC2 information. Patch from Scott Moser (LP: #494615) -- Thierry Carrez Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:19:32 +0100 apport (1.11-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low * Merge from trunk: - launchpad.py: Add options 'escalation_subscription' and 'escalation_tag' for handling bugs with more than 10 duplicates. - crashdb.conf: For Ubuntu, escalate bugs with >= 10 duplicates to "ubuntu-bugcontrol" and tag them with "bugpattern-needed".

LP: #413110 -- Reinhard Tartler Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:14:45 +0100 apport (1.11-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low * launchpad.py: Remove a snippet of redundant code. * Merge bug fixes from trunk: - launchpad.py: Drop APPORT_FILES whitelist for download() and instead just filter out file extensions that we know about (*.txt and *.gz). (LP: #444975) * Enable Apport by default again. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:30:19 +0100 apport (1.11-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * New upstream release: - Add "--save" UI option to store the collected information into an .apport file instead of sending it right away. The file can then later be sent through apport-bug. Update manpages accordingly. - Update all copyright and description headers and consistently format them. - Rename all TestCase classes to "_T", which makes it much easier to run individual tests from the command line. - Testsuite: Verify that report details are/are not shown. This uncovered that details about package installation failures were not shown before sending them, which is fixed now. - test/hooks: Do not try to add hook information to kernel_crashdump test case, since we do not have an UI here. This test case broke when the system had an interactive package hook for the kernel. - When reporting a bug from a saved .apport file, let the user review/confirm the content before sending. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:09:55 +0100 apport (1.10.1-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * New upstream release: - Install apport-collect symlink. - Update translations from Launchpad. - Move all remaining option/argument parsing from apport-bug into ui.py. This allows the user to add options to apport-bug/apport-collect, and also avoids unwieldy dissection of options/arguments in shell. * debian/apport.links: Do not create apport-collect symlink, now done by upstream build system. Install that in debian/apport.install. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Set up lazr.restfulclient. * debian/control: Bump python-distutils-extra build dependency to >= 2.14 to ensure correct symlink handling. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:54:37 +0100 apport (1.10-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * New upstream release: - Add a mode for updating an existing problem report to ui.py (-u/--update). This is similar to the Ubuntu specific "apport-collect" tool, but implemented the right way now: In particular, this has access to the UI and thus can use interactive hooks (LP: #385811) and show you what is being sent for confirmation/cancelling (LP: #371827) - apport-bug: If invoked as "apport-collect" or "apport-update-bug" (i. e. through a symlink), run apport in update mode (-u ). This provides a convenient no-options command line program. Please note that setup.py does not currently install such a symlink. Update the apport-bug manpage accordingly. - launchpad.py: Use new login_with() to clean up code, and specify allowed access levels (WRITE_PRIVATE is the only sensible one anyway). (LP: #410205) - New hookutils functions: + xsession_errors (match lines from ~/.xsession-errors) + shared_libraries (determine which libraries a binary links with) + links_with_shared_library (test if a binary links with a particular library) - New CrashDatabase API: get_affected_packages(), can_update(), is_reporter() - Rename CrashDatabase.update() to update_traces(). - Add CrashDatabase.update() for adding all new fields of a report. This is primarily useful for collecting local standard and package hook data for an already existing bug report which was not filed through Apport. This checks can_update()/is_reporter() if the user is eligible for updating that particular bug. (LP: #485880) - Ignore SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ; thanks to Kees Cook. (LP: #498074) - launchpad.py: Do not mark non-Ubuntu bugs as needs-retrace, since there is no retracer right now. (LP: #489794) - packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_retracing_packages(): Do not crash on malformed Dependencies.txt lines. (LP: #441709) - use-local: Fix for new source tree location of "apport" binary. * Drop debian/local/apport-collect{,.1} and install symlinks for apport-bug instead. * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Do not report "corrupted filesystem tarfile" package errors. (LP: #320743) * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Report "package ... is already installed and configured" errors against dpkg, not the package that failed. (LP: #467688) -- Martin Pitt Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:48:48 +0100 apport (1.9.6-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low * Bump python-launchpadlib dependency to ensure that we have login_with() with credentials_file argument. * debian/local/apport-collect: Add short infos to description if the calling person is the bug reporter.

[ Marco Rodrigues ] * debian/control: Fix lintian warnings. Move python-distutils-extra to b-d-i and add misc:Depends to apport-qt. [ Martin Pitt ] * New upstream version 1.9.5 and 1.9.6: - apport-retrace: Fix crash if InterpreterPath/ExecutablePath do not exist. - hookutils.py, attach_alsa(): Attach /proc/cpuinfo too, for CPU flags. - Fix crash if InterpreterPath does not exist any more at the time of reporting. (LP: #428289) - apport-gtk: Connect signals properly, to repair cancel/window close buttons. (LP: #427814) - Update German translations and fix "konnre" typo. (LP: #484119) - launchpad.py: Ensure that text attachments on initial bug filing are valid UTF-8. (LP: #453203) - man/apport-retrace.1: Document -R option. - Add pm-utils hook to record current operation, so that apportcheckresume can check it. Before this was kept in Ubuntu's pm-utils package. - general-hooks/generic.py: Check if using ecryptfs, and which directory. (LP: #444656) * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Add distro release codename tag. (LP: #404250) * debian/local/apport-chroot: Fix last occurrence of "--no-dpkg" to be "--no-pkg". (LP: #487056) * debian/local/apport-collect: Use "apport-collect data" as comment for the apport-collect attachments to enable bug mail filtering.

Thanks to Marco Rodrigues. (LP: #447780) - Drop handling of the APPORT_REPORT_THIRDPARTY environment variable and "thirdparty" configuration file option. This has never been documented, and conceptually does not work.

When giving a single argument and no options, determine the most likely mode, like reporting a bug against a symptom, package, executable name, or PID. - Add program "apport-bug" which determines the most appropriate user interface (GTK, KDE, CLI) and files a bug through it, using the single argument "do what I mean" mode. This is an improved version of Ubuntu's "ubuntu-bug" script. - Update apport-cli manpage to current set of options and behaviour. Also point out that apport-gtk and apport-kde share the same CLI. - setup.py now installs apport-{gtk,kde} into $prefix/share/apport/, they are not supposed to be called directly. This also reflects the path which the .desktop files expect. - setup.py now installs the internal helper scripts like "kernel_crashdump", "apport", or "apportcheckresume" into $prefix/share/apport instead of $prefix/bin. - Update usage of gettext to work around Python bug of gettext() not returning unicodes, but str.

(LP: #279033) * apport/ui.py: Fix crash in get_complete_size() for reports that are constructed on the fly instead of loaded from a file (i. e. for bug reports).

(LP: #338033) * apport/report.py, anonymize(): Do not anonymize single-character user and host names, since they create an utter mess in bug reports, and also are very low-sensitive. * debian/apport.init: Also start apport if force_start=1 is given. This provides a convenient method of starting apport just for a session without changing the default file. Add a comment to debian/apport.default about this possibility.

This makes testing easier. Describe in debian/local/apport-collect.1. * debian/local/apport-collect: Ignore ValueErrors from add_package_info(), which happens if the bug has a source package task which does not have an identically named binary package name. Slightly ugly, but it's nontrivial to do that in a sensible manner; let's just fix the crash for now, since the focus of this tool is to collect information from hooks.

This makes memory leaks irrelevant, and gets rid of all the logging, daemonizing, and looping code. - Adapt stdout/stderr reporting to be suitable for cron and redirecting stdout to a log file. - Use lock files to avoid overlapping instances and avoid damaging bugs with broken retracers after crash-digger failed. - Handle chroot upgrading, so that this does not need separate cronjobs any more. - Drop old -i option, replace with -D/--dupcheck which is a mode which *only* checks duplicates of Python crashes (no fakechroot handling). - Mark bug as retraced after apport-chroot retrace finished successfully; the process is robust enough now to avoid enless loops even if retracing fails. - Adapt test-crash-digger accordingly. - UbuntuSpec:apport-retracer-maintenance -- Martin Pitt Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:14:44 +0100 apport (0.124) jaunty; urgency=low * debian/local/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Divert touch to touch.real and wrap it into a shell wrapper which ignores failures.

It does not touch non-Ubuntu bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of the scope of this spec. - update(), _mark_dup_checked(): Call _subscribe_triaging_team(). - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real crash database. - get_distro_release(): Make this function work with private bugs, too, by using p-lp-bugs' safe_urlopen(). Bug fixes: * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Revert simplification change of 0.85: BugList returns a set of strings, not integers; due to non-identity they do not work with the usual set operations. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add function get_source_component() to query Launchpad for the component of a given distribution and source package. (This will be required for implementing crash-reporting). * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Package list is actually comma separated, only take the first item. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124139. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Fix package name parsing for non-main components. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124111. * apport/report.py, _read_maps(): Revert ptrace hack when maps cannot be read. maps file is now protected based on process ownership, not ptracing. * apport/crashdb.py, apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Remove official interface mark_dup_checked(), as it should only be an internally used function. Add report parameter, since we will need it there in the future. Remove explicit call from bin/crash-digger and instead change check_duplicate() to call it on its own. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Replace dodgy parsing of fields from the description with proper code, so that multi-line fields are read correctly, too. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 06 Jul 2007 11:19:22 +0200 apport (0.88) gutsy; urgency=low * po/de.po: Update. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Do not check the return value of zgrep. It usually errors out with 'stdout: broken pipe' when called with -m1. * bin/crash-digger: Mark a bug as retraced if DistroRelease: cannot be determined. Those are bugs apport cannot handle. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, get_source_tree(): Call apt-get source with --assume-yes to not block on VCS confirmations. * apport/crashdb.py: Add interface mark_retrace_failed(). Implement it in apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py. * bin/apport-retrace: If retraced report does not have a crash signature, mark it as failed with above new function. Bump python-apport dependency for this. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Delete CoreDump.gz attachment if the retrace was successful (i. e. if the report has a crash signature). * apport/ui.py, test_run_crash(): Set the message box title, text, and severity as assertion message if the run_crash() test fails, so that you know why it fails. This usually happens if libc6 or another dependency of the test crash is out of date. * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Mark string as translatable. LP: #119621 -- Martin Pitt Tue, 03 Jul 2007 21:38:05 +0200 apport (0.87) gutsy; urgency=low * apport/report.py: - test_gen_stacktrace_top(): Add test case for unwinding a Gnome assertion (g_logv(), g_assert_warning() and similar), see LP #123462. - _gen_stacktrace_top(): Generalize for unwinding multiple functions and a set of function names, and add the Gnome assertion ones. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 02 Jul 2007 11:00:44 +0200 apport (0.86) gutsy; urgency=low * test-apport: Check that apport does not create reports for emtpy core dumps. * problem_report.py: Introduce a fourth optional parameter "fail_on_empty" to file pointer tuples which causes write() to raise an IOError if no data was read. Add test cases. * bin/apport: Enforce non-emptyness of CoreDump. * problem_report.py: Add test case for delayed piping of data passed as file object pointers. This was supposed to explain the reason for getting bugs with zero-byte core dumps, but already works correctly. * apport/report.py, check_ignored(): round the mtime to an int (just like mark_ignore() does), to not get wrong results on file systems that support subsecond file timestamps. This fixes running the test suite on the live CD. * test-apport: Clarify assertion message if /var/crash is not empty. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:14:36 +0200 apport (0.85) gutsy; urgency=low * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: BugList.bugs is already a set, simplify code a bit. * debian/control: Add dpkg-dev dependency to apport-retrace, for getting dpkg-source. * apport/report.py, crash_signature(): Allow ':' and '~' as part of function names to cover C++. Adapt test case to cover this. * apport/report.py test suite: Do not assume that /bin/zgrep uses /bin/sh, it was recently changed to use bash. Directly read the interpreter from the shebang line. * bin/apport-chroot, command_upgrade(): Supply -y to 'apt-get upgrade' also in verbose mode. * bin/apport-chroot, command_upgrade(): Run 'apt-get clean' before regenerating the chroot tarball. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, get_dependencies(): Fix crash when encountering a virtual package. LP: #122274 * apport/report.py, obsolete_packages(): Do not consider virtual packages as obsolete. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Do a bogus call to Bug() in the ctor. This initializes python-launchpad-bugs to use a cookie for the urlopen in BugList, so that get_unretraced() and get_dup_unchecked() return private bugs, too. This works around LP #122126. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 25 Jun 2007 16:38:43 +0200 apport (0.84) gutsy; urgency=low * apport/crashdb.py: Add new abstract methods: - get_unretraced() and mark_retraced(id) to get a list of crashes that need to be retraced and chalk them off. - get_dup_unchecked() and mark_dup_checked() to get a list of crashes that need to be checked for being a duplicate and chalk them off. This is aimed at crashes which do not need retracing, such as unhandled Python exceptions. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Implement above methods for launchpad (moving the code from bin/launchpad-crash-digger). * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Set "need-duplicate-check" tag for Python crashes. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Fetch Traceback.txt, too, so that we can do duplicate checking for Python crashes. * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Drop Launchpad specific code and replace it with calls to above new functions. Rename to bin/crash-digger. Also rename all 'cookie' to 'auth' (as happened with the other applications earlier). * bin/crash-digger: Do duplicate checking for needs-duplicate-check crash bugs (such as Python crashes). * bin/apport-retrace, bin/crash-digger: More language cleanup; we should stop talking about 'bugs' and use 'crash' consistently. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 14 Jun 2007 19:50:24 +0200 apport (0.83) gutsy; urgency=low * apport/crashdb.py: Separate abstract from implemented functions. * apport/crashdb.py, apport/packaging.py, apport/ui.py: Use NotImplementedError instead of Exception in the abstract methods. * apport/packaging.py: Add interface compare_versions() for comparing package version numbers. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement compare_versions() using apt.VersionCompare(), add some test cases. * apport/report.py: Fix typo: 'none' -> 'None'. * apport/chroot.py: Do not include /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, just /lib, so that we still use the libc from outside, but e. g. libxml2 from inside the chroot. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/apport-crash-duplicates: Merge crash-dups branch, which implements automatic crash duplicate detection: * apport/crashdb.py: Add methods for crash duplicate detection. * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Change internal data management to track fixed version and duplicates. * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Add a test suite for all methods, including the duplicate detection API of the base CrashDatabase (since it is much easier to test it here, on an actual implementation). * debian/pyversions: Bump minimal Python version to 2.5, since this starts providing the sqlite3 module. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Implement new methods required for crash duplicate detection. get_fixed_version() does not approximate version tracking yet; it just returns '' for fixed bugs (which means 'fixed, but unknown version'). Bump python-launchpad-bugs dependency for this to ensure the availability of Bug.mark_duplicate(). * bin/apport-retrace: Add option --duplicate-db which specifies the path to the duplicate sqlite database and enables duplicate detection. * Abin/apport-chroot: Add option --duplicate-db. If a file is given, symlink it into the chroot and pass --duplicate-db to apport-retrace. * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Add --duplicate-db and pass it to apport-chroot. * apport/crashdb.py: Track last run of duplicate_db_consolidate() in an extra table and add a method duplicate_db_needs_consolidation() which returns True if the last run was more than a given number of seconds ago. Add test cases to apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py. * bin/launchpad-crash-digger, fill_pool(): Check whether the duplicate database needs consolidation (i. e. updating the bug states to the reality in the bug tracker) and if so, trigger it. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:09:57 +0200 apport (0.82) gutsy; urgency=low * Add bin/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Script to install a set of commonly needed packages into a minimal Ubuntu chroot (as created by apport-chroot). This requires some hacking of postinst and /usr/sbin/ files in between the installation stages and thus deserves a script on its own. * apport/packaging.py: - Add "uninstalled" option to get_file_package(). If set to True, this will do an expensive search of files/packages which are not installed. - Add interface "set_mirror(URL)" for functions which need to retrieve packages and data from distribution mirrors. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement "uninstalled" option and "set_mirror(URL)", add test cases. * bin/apport-retrace: Use "uninstalled" option now to install packages and corresponding -dbgsyms for uninstalled files mentioned in ProcMaps (Point 1 of apport-better-retracing spec). Bump python-apport dependency. * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_available_version(package). * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement get_available_version(), add shallow test case. * apport/report.py: Add function obsolete_packages() to return packages in Package: and Depends: which are not up to date. Add test cases. * apport/ui.py, thread_collect_info(): For crashes, call obsolete_packages() and set UnreportableReason: if there are any (Point 2 of apport-better-retracing spec). * apport/ui.py, thread_collect_info(): call standard_title() and add it to the report as 'Title' field. This is useful if reporters modify the default title (per request of Brian Murray, thanks). Add test case. * apport/ui.py: Fix declaration of the test suite's ui_set_upload_progress(). Funny that this has never been triggered before. * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Split out StacktraceTop generation into separate funtion _gen_stacktrace_top(), so that we can test it separately. * apport/report.py, _gen_stacktrace_top(): Step back from the crashed program's own signal handlers, since those are generally not useful for the purposes of StacktraceTop and only impede duplicate matching (Point 4 of apport-better-retracing spec). Add various test cases. * apport/report.py: Add method crash_signature() to calculate an unique identifier of a signal or Python crash, to be used for duplicate detection. Add various test cases. * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_source_tree() to fetch and unpack a source package to a given directory, optionally specifying a particular version. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement get_source_tree(). This has a rather crude 'call apt-get source and guess about directories' implementation until python-apt learns about doing this directly and more elegantly (see LP #118788). * bin/apport-retrace: Add gen_source_stacktrace() and a few helper functions to construct a field 'StacktraceSource' with the source code around the affected lines in the stack trace (as available). (Point 5 of apport-better-retracing spec). * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Attach StacktraceSource to the bug if it exists. * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Check PackageArchitecture for 'all', to not set a retracer tag 'need-all-retrace'. * test-apport: Clarify assertion failure message when an unexpected core dump is present. * apport/report.py, get_module_license(): Do not iterate over Popen.stdout, use communicate() instead. The latter is already fixed to not trip over SIGINTR. (LP: #118965) -- Martin Pitt Fri, 08 Jun 2007 07:47:04 +0200 apport (0.81) gutsy; urgency=low * apport/report.py: Remove '[apport]' default bug title prefix. (LP: #94819) * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Tag new bugs with 'apport-'. This replaces the former '[apport]' prefixing. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Specify a path in '.' command and use sh again. Yay for me needing three attempts before actually RTFMing how '.' works (which is really nasty and strange IMHO). * bin/apport-chroot: Fix symlinks before repackaging the chroot tarball in 'install' and 'installdeb' modes. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Install python-libxml2 and python-apt. * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Supply --auth instead of the deprecated --cookie to apport-chroot. * bin/apport-chroot: Fix identifier name in command_retrace(). * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Set APPORT_CRASHDB_CONF to the local crashdb.conf. * bin/apport-chroot: Unset APPORT_CRASHDB_CONF for login and retrace. * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Check the release of a bug and whether we have a chroot for it before untagging it. This avoids loosing tags for bugs we do not yet have a working retracer chroot for. * bin/apport-retrace: Do not abort with an exception if package installation fails. Give a proper error message instead and point to -u. (LP: #115681) * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Create a temporary directory and use proper file names for the new attachments. With TemporaryFile(), attachment file names ended up as ''. (LP: #115347) * apport/report.py, add_os_info(): Add field 'NonfreeKernelModules' which lists loaded kernel modules which do not have a FOSS license. This is particularly helpful for quickly checking for restricted graphics drivers. (LP: #103239) * apport_python_hook.py: Move the apport.* imports into the try: block and move the likely_packaged() test to the top, to avoid importing apport.report and creating a Report object for non-packaged scripts. This makes the entire code more efficient and robust against errors in the apport modules. (LP: #109955) * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Intercept OSError from gdb invocation (which might be segfaulting itself) and just do not put any gdb output into the report. The automatic retracers can try their luck again. (LP: #112501) * bin/apport-retrace: Fix handling of packages which are still known to /var/lib/dpkg/status, but do not have an apt record any more; treat them like virtual packages and just issue a warning instead of falling over. (LP: #107474) * Add doc/data-format.tex: Documentation of the structure, encoding, and standard keys of the Apport report file format. [apport-for-upstreams blueprint] * Add doc/Makefile: Build and clean rules for generating data-format.pdf. * debian/rules, setup.py: Call doc/Makefile and install the PDF documentation. Add texlive-latex-recommended build dependency for that. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 24 May 2007 19:39:12 +0200 apport (0.80) gutsy; urgency=low Collect all Launchpad specific bits in a separate class and provide an abstract base class. This will greatly help for getting upstream acceptance and the possibility of automatically forwarding crashes upstream (apport-for-upstreams specification): * Add apport/crashdb.py: Abstract crash database interface. This also offers a factory function get_crashdb() which reads a configuration file to find the default crash database to be used. * Add ./crashdb.conf: Crash database configuration file, for Ubuntu on Launchpad. Modify setup.py and debian/python-apport.install to ship it in python-apport. * Add apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Simple in-memory implementation of crash database interface for testing. * Add apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Launchpad implementation of crash database interface. * apport/ui.py: Drop LP specific bits and move towards new CrashDatabase interface. * apport/ui.py, test suite: Do not overwrite file_report() any more, but use the memory CrashDatabase. This will test the actual file_report() implementation and allows the test suite to check the precise value of opened URLs. * apport/{report,ui}.py: Move UserInterface.create_crash_bug_title() and its test cases to Report.standard_title(). It is much more appropriate there and can be used in the retracer as well. * bin/apport-retrace: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase interface. Remove the --remove-tag option, we really should not have it here; remove it from man/apport-retrace.1 as well. * bin/apport-chroot: Drop --remove-tag option here, too. * bin/apport-chroot: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase interface. * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Remove retracing tag directly instead of passing --remove-tag to apport-chroot. This is a much cleaner design and avoids infinitely looping on some weirdly failing retraces. * debian/control: Bump some python-apport dependencies for the API changes. Some debranding: * setup.py: Use apport wiki home page for 'url'. * Remove 'X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain' from *.desktop.in, since langpack.mk will add it automatically now. * *.desktop.in: Remove 'in Ubuntu' from comment. * cli/apport-cli, qt4/apport-qt: Generalize window titles. Other fixes: * po/de.po: Update. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Revert back 'source' to '.' and use bash instead of sh. POSIX sh does not seem to have a 'source' command. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 21 May 2007 19:25:31 +0200 apport (0.79) gutsy; urgency=low * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Fix '.' bashism, replace it with 'source'. * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Drop preamble argument, replace it with an extra_headers dictionary. This is much easier to evaluate on clients. * apport/ui.py: Convert to new write_mime() interface from above. This finally automatically tags bugs with need-$ARCH-retrace. Bump p-problem-report dependency of python-apport for this. * apport/report.py: Change example URLs in the testsuite from launchpad to an artificial ones to avoid the impression that it is LP specific. * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Formally make this a subclass of apport.packaging.PackageInfo. * debian/control: Use code.lp.net instead of bazaar.lp.net VCS URL. * bin/kernel_hook: Fix/improve the collected information: - Read /proc/modules instead of lsmod. - Fix lspci argument: -n instead of -m. - Add /proc/cmdline. * debian/rules: Use langpack.mk for updating the .desktop files. * Add po/Makevars to specify the domain, to make intltool figure out the gettext domain automatically. * bin/kernel_hook, ./test-hooks: Do not rely on /proc/version_signature any more, it's gone in the gutsy kernel. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 21 May 2007 15:55:10 +0200 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(). -- Martin Pitt Sat, 5 May 2007 17:53:42 +0200 apport (0.77) gutsy; urgency=low * apport/report.py: Replace any() call with a list comprehension to work with Python < 2.5. (LP: #104864) * apport/report.py: Move the ctypes import to the one place where we actually need it, and do not entirely fail if they do not exist (such as in Python 2.4). It is only required for non-default Feisty kernels anyway. (LP: #107662) * apport/chroot.py: Fix test suite to work with Python 2.4's tarfile module output format. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Generalized some feisty specific bits, set default release to gutsy. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 23 Apr 2007 12:22:17 +0200 apport (0.76) feisty; urgency=low * Move python_hook.py out of the apport module to apport_python_hook.py, so that it does not inflict the expensive import of all apport related modules to every python program. Adapt module prefixes accordingly. (LP: #105764) * setup.py, debian/python-apport.install: Install apport_python_hook.py into the python-apport binary package. * apport/ui.py test suite: Unset locale related environment variables so that the tests which check strings are not invalidated by translations. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 12 Apr 2007 11:47:50 +0200 apport (0.75) feisty; urgency=low * apport/report.py, add_proc_info(): Chop off /rofs/ prefix from ExecutablePath, so that crashes work on the live system, too. Arguably a kernel bug, but probably too hard to fix at this time. (LP: #102909) * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Ignore empty lines in broken .md5sums file rather than crashing on them.

Add test cases. * test-hooks: Add a (dodgy) test case for calling package_hook on an uninstalled package. After all, this is very likely to happen for installation errors. This reproduces #97636. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_source(): Add a similarly dodgy fallback to apt if the queried package is not installed. This needs to be generalized and cleaned up later, but now is the time for unintrusive small patches. (LP: #97636) * test-apport: Do not fail on non-empty gdb stderr if it only consists of a single warning (as happens on powerpc). * apport/report.py, test_check_interpreted(): Run gedit test on an actually existing file, reproducing the interpreter confusion reported in #102056. * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted(): Add a whitelist of common interpreters and check ExecutablePath against it.

Above it, the entire key gets removed. Add testsuite checks for all boundary cases. * bin/apport: Limit core dump size to 75% of usable RAM (MemFree+Cached-Writeback). This should avoid trashing people's boxes hard on huge core dumps. Bump dependencies on python-problem-report. Create an expensive, but realistic check for this in test-apport. (LP: #71560) * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): If a signal crash report does not have a core dump, explain that the computer has too little memory for an automatic analysis/report of the crash.

Merely print out a warning about it. * apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Ignore ENOENT from add_proc_info().

This is intended for an automatic Malone crash retracing system. * debian/control: Bump python-launchpad-bugs dependency to ensure that we have Bug.[gs]et_metadata(). * man/apport-retrace.1: Add documentation for --confirm and --remove-tag. * bin/apport-chroot: Add option --remove-tag and pass it to apport-retrace. * apport/chroot.py, fix_symlinks(): Convert chroot path prefixed absolute symlinks to relative symlinks to avoid fakechroot's weird handling of absolute symlinks. * Add bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Daemon for watching out for need-$ARCH-retrace tagged Ubuntu bugs in Launchpad and calling apport-retrace on them. * bin/apport-retrace: Mangle bug comment with StacktraceTop to not contain invalid UTF-8, to avoid getting Internal Server Errors from LP. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Install libc6-i686{,-dbgsym} into an x86 chroot, to get sane x86 backtraces for crashes in libc. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: - Unpack and install python-launchpad-bugs locally if the package is not installed. - Link launchpad-crash-digger into the retracer's bin/ dir. * run-tests: Run tests with python's -tt flag to catch whitespace errors. * Replace tabs with spaces in all Python files. (LP: #93561) * Remove trailing white space in all Python files. * apport/report.py, add_proc_info(): Do not regard symlinks to executables as interpreted scripts any more (such as Debian alternatives). Add test case. (LP: #94732) * problem_report.py: Add new method get_new() which returns a set of all keys which have been added since load() or construction. Add test cases. * problem_report.py: Add optional parameter only_new to write(), which writes only the get_new() keys. Add test case. * apport/ui.py: Remember currently processed report file and update it with the added information, so that it becomes useful for local evaluation, too. Bump python-problem-report dependency to ensure write()'s only_new availability. (LP: #94678) * apport-chroot: Add forgotten sys.exit(1) after printing the error message about an invalid chroot specification. * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Check for a field "UnsupportableReason: " and display an information box that the current configuration cannot be supported because of , instead of processing and reporting the crash. Add test case for this workflow. With special regards to our Firefox crash triagers who want to get rid of the hundreds of flash-related crashes. :) * apport/report.py, add_hooks_info(): Use execfile() instead of __import__(), since package names might conflict with module names already imported into apport's namespace. Also search for hook named after the source package name (prefixed with 'source_'). Add test cases. * bin/apport-chroot: When specifying --save for login, only save the tarball if the exit status is 0. * bin/apport-chroot, create: Install /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to disable init scripts. * bin/apport-chroot: Fixed command function selection to not abort with 'unknown command' if the DistroRelease: was unknown. * bin/apport-retrace: Replace --no-purge with --no-dpkg. With this option, do not call dpkg --unpack any more, but dpkg -x, to avoid any fchmod() and other calls which cause problems in fakechroots. * bin/apport-retrace: Fix ordering of version numbers in warning message. * doc/package-hooks.txt: Add some examples, document source package hook. [ Kees Cook ] * apport/report.py, add_proc_info(): If reading /proc/pid/maps fails, ptrace() the target process to make it readable (proposed security improvement in future kernels). * bin/apport-retrace: Fix crash for packages unknown to the apt cache. * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Limit maximum backtrace depth to 2000 to avoid infinitely looped stacks and gdb crashes. (LP: #94455) This also caps the maximum size of information that we add to reports. (LP: #92653) * bin/apport-retrace: Add option -R/--rebuild-package-info, so that apport-retrace works on unprocessed crash dumps in /var/crash. * Some grammar corrections. * Add package-hooks/source_apport.py: Package hook for apport itself. Include /var/log/apport.log and the status of files in /var/crash. [ Michael Hofmann ] * Add cli/apport-cli, setup.py, debian/apport-cli.install, debian/control: Add command line user interface. * apport/ui.py, format_filesize(): Use MiB and GiB instead of MB and GB; these are the official units. Adapt test cases. * apport/ui.py, collect_info()/file_report(): Do not raise an exception on KeyboardInterrupt in the subthreads. * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Do not use gtk.MessageDialog(), but ui_error_message(), and fix error passing so that the message is displayed in the parent thread. * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Check that $DISPLAY is set before considering the KDE/Gnome web browsers. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 26 Mar 2007 09:41:03 +0200 apport (0.69) feisty; urgency=low * apport-chroot: Add command 'installdeb' to conveniently install a bunch of .debs into a chroot. * apport-chroot: Fix 'login' and 'upgrade' commands to not require specifying a chroot map when giving a chroot tarball path as argument. * test-apport: Check that core dumps are written for packaged programs as well, if ulimits want them.

Add a dependency to that package. * apport/ui.py, upload_launchpad_blob(): Use the shiny new launchpadBugs.storeblob.upload(). * bin/apport-retrace: Attach retraced stack traces back to the Launchpad bug report if no other output option is given (This corresponds to the in-place editing when a report file is specified). Add option --cookie to specify a Mozilla-style cookie file for the necessary Launchpad authentication. * man/apport-retrace.1: Document above apport-retrace changes. * bin/apport-chroot: Add --cookie option: temporarily symlink cookie into the chroot and pass it to apport-retrace in retrace mode. -- Martin Pitt Sat, 10 Mar 2007 15:01:57 +0100 apport (0.65) feisty; urgency=low * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: - Replace grep-dctrl with grep call, since grep-dctrl is not installed in all the DC chroots. - Do not download apport source from archive.u.c., instead require that this script lives in the unpacked apport source tree. * bin/apport-chroot: Use apt-get options -y and --allow-unauthenticated when installing additional packages. * bin/apport-chroot: Handle --extra-package for 'upgrade', too, to provide a simple way of adding a package to an existing chroot tarball. * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Create tarball chroots by default. It only imposes a negligible overhead, and sharing unpacked directories with multiple people is just too brittle. * bin/apport-retrace: Add option --no-purge to not purge unpacked packages after retracing. This is (only) useful with temporarily unpacked chroots, since it's only a waste of time there. * bin/apport-chroot: Call apport-retrace with --no-purge when retracing in a chroot tarball. * apport/chroot.py: Add fix_symlinks() method to remove the chroot root directory prefix from symbolic links; they prevent function of tarball chroots and moving around directory chroots. Add test case. * bin/apport: Fix symlinks after creating and upgrading a chroot. * bin/apport-chroot: Add option --save to update a tarball after logging in to it. -- Martin Pitt Sat, 10 Mar 2007 21:21:25 +0100 apport (0.64) feisty; urgency=low * bin/apport-chroot: Add 'login' command. * bin/apport-chroot: Install apport-retrace into a newly created chroot. * Add debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Script to install local versions of apport, debootstrap, fake{,ch}root libraries, and a feisty apport fakechroot. This works OOTB on ronne's amd64 and i386 feisty chroots. The script is not shipped in any package yet, but it's convenient to ship it in revision control and in the source. * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted(): When calling an interpreter with a script name as argument, set ExecutablePath to the script instead of the interpreter. Add test case. (LP: #88794) * apport/report.py, search_bug_patterns(): Catch all exceptions from urlopen(), not just IOError. Sometimes this fails with funnier errors.

(LP: #90077) * bin/apport-chroot: Add a -v/--verbose option. * bin/apport-retrace: Do not complain about missing ddebs for Arch: all packages. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 6 Mar 2007 16:20:41 +0100 apport (0.63) feisty; urgency=low New feature: fakechroot support for apport-retrace * bin/apport-retrace: - Simplify program design and throw away the complicated debug symbol sandbox generation, along with the -d and -C options. Instead, directly install the missing packages and ddebs with apt. This makes the tool more suitable for running in chroots and has often been requested anyway. - Add option -u/--unpack-only which causes additionally installed packages to be unpacked without being configured and purged again after retracing. This allows apport-retrace to work under fakechroot and has the nice side effect of speeding up package installation (we do not care about configuration for retracing anyway). * man/apport-retrace.1: Update description for the new behaviour, drop documentation of the -d and -C options, and add documentation of -u. * Add apport/chroot.py: Class for representing and working with chroots; this uses the fakeroot and fakechroot libraries when being called as non-root. * Add bin/apport-chroot: CLI frontend for doing various things with chroots (including fakeroot/fakechroot support from the Chroot class). For now, this implements: - create a chroot (tarball or directory) - dist-upgrade a particular or all chroots - apport-retrace a bug or Apport report file * setup.py: Ship apport-chroot in scripts directory. * Add a new package apport-retrace which ships apport-retrace and apport-chroot and carries all the heavier dependencies (binutils, python-launchpad-bugs, python-apt, etc.). Drop the latter two dependencies from the apport package. This allows us to install the apport-retrace package in fakechroots (not possible with apport itself) and avoid unnecessary dependencies on normal desktop installations. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 5 Mar 2007 11:20:36 +0100 apport (0.62) feisty; urgency=low * apport/ui.py, collect_info(): Use REThread instead of Thread and raise exceptions from it, so that errors during info collection actually become visible. * apport/report.py, add_proc_info(): Check that ExecutablePath actually exists, so that invalid values from transient error conditions are ignored (such as '/usr/bin/gnome-panel\x00\x00\x8b (deleted)'). * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_system_architecture() to return the system architecture in the distro specific notation. This can differ from get_architecture(package) on multiarch platforms such as amd64. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Implement get_system_architecture() to return dpkg --print-architecture, add a shallow test case. * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Rename key 'Architecture:' to 'PackageArchitecture:' for clarity. * apport/report.py, add_os_info(): Add system architecture as 'Architecture:' field. * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title(): Append warning about non-native package if package architecture does not match the system's one. * All test suites: Remove redundant word 'behaviour' from test descriptions. * test-hooks: Run tests on installed hooks in /usr/share/apport by default and add a '--local' switch to test the hooks in the source tree instead. Use this option in run-tests. * apport/report.py, test_add_proc_info(): Change the python script test so that it does not depend on being run in the source tree. * run-tests: Add a 'local' command line option which runs tests on the files and modules in the build tree. Run tests on system files/modules by default. * setup.py, debian/apport.install: Ship test-hooks, test-apport, and run-tests in /usr/share/apport/testsuite/, so that the full test suite can be run in the installed system. * gtk/apport-gtk.desktop.in: Only show in Gnome and Xfce. * qt4/apport-qt.desktop.in: Only show in KDE. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 1 Mar 2007 10:43:29 +0100 apport (0.61) feisty; urgency=low * bin/apport: - Kernel 2.6.20-9 now sets CORE_REAL_RLIM to -1 instead of not setting it; handle this case correctly. (LP: #87065) - Add forgotten multiplication of CORE_REAL_RLIM with 1024, since ulimit sets kB, not bytes. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 27 Feb 2007 16:06:11 +0100 apport (0.60) feisty; urgency=low * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Reintroduce window titles. Since the crash notifications are like alerts, title have been removed recently to comply with Gnome HIG standards, but then the user will get 'nameless window' buttons in the task bar. Let's have the smaller evil then. (LP: #87164) * apport/packaging.py: Add get_architecture() interface for determining the architecture of a particular package (which might not match the overall system architecture on multiarch-capable systems, e. g. an i386 Firefox package installed on amd64). * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Implement get_architecture() and add test case. * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Add Architecture: field. (LP: #87424) * apport/ui.py: Already mark report as seen when we load it, not just in the information collection thread. That way, reports will only be shown once on systems which have /var/crash mounted noatime, too. (LP: #85809) * apport/fileutils.py, mark_report_seen(): If os.utime() fails, and opening the report file for reading does not change the atime (happens with noatime mount option), don't throw an exception, just delete the report. (other aspect of LP: #85809) * qt4/apport-qt: Wrap gettext() into an unicode(str, 'UTF-8') call, otherwise all non-ASCII unicode strings are broken.

This replicates bug #87005. * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted_script(): Filter out interpreter command line options. This should make the detection of interpreted scripts more robust. (LP: #87005) * test-apport, check_crash(): Differ between expecting the program dumping core and finding a core dump on disk, because this is not equivalent any more with core pipelining. * bin/apport: Write core files into a process' cwd if the process' ulimit requests and permits it and the crashes process is not packaged, so that developers get happy again. Test this behaviour with various ulimits in test-apport. * test-apport: Check that the core file written by apport is valid. This uncovers kernel bugs like #87065 * problem_report.py test suite: Use assertAlmostEqual() when comparing stat times, since they are floats on some systems. * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): - Remove all the initial gdb output, which gets rid of the duplicated #0 line. - Replace some stray tabs with spaces. - Thanks to Kees Cook for this! -- Martin Pitt Thu, 22 Feb 2007 19:52:52 +0100 apport (0.58) feisty; urgency=low * qt4/apport-qt.desktop.in move to System menu -- Jonathan Riddell Tue, 20 Feb 2007 11:35:17 +0000 apport (0.57) feisty; urgency=low * apport/ui.py: Intercept ENOMEM and fail gracefully; there is little else we can do at that point, and there is no point in presenting a crash report for this.

(LP: #86083) * gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt: Intercept ImportError for the non-builtin Python modules. This usually happens for crashes when there is a dist-upgrade active and some Python packages have not been configured yet. (LP: #86007) * apport/ui.py: If the problem report does not apply to a packaged program, and we have an ExecutablePath, mention it in the error message for easier debugging. * apport/python_hook.py: Resolve symbolic links in ExecutablePath. (LP: #85529) * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Remove debugging print statement again, now that we tracked down bug #83974. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 19 Feb 2007 14:40:29 +0100 apport (0.56) feisty; urgency=low * apport/ui.py, open_url(): When being invoked as root, call gnome-open or firefox as root through sudo instead of dropping our uid/gid and calling it normally. The latter does not work for Firefox for some mysterious reason. Thanks to Mika Fischer for this trick. (LP: #81207) * Add debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Manpage for ubuntu-bug. Add it to debian/apport.manpages. * qt4/apport-qt: Add some missing features that are present in the GTK UI: - Do not show details by default, add a button to show them. - Add complete/reduced bug report radio buttons. - Thanks to Michael Hofmann for this! -- Martin Pitt Thu, 15 Feb 2007 14:59:07 +0100 apport (0.55) feisty; urgency=low * Add debian/local/ubuntu-bug: Check for a running KDE or Gnome session, availability of apport-gtk and -qt, and open the appropriate GUI in bug filing mode.

Add appropriate Conflicts/Replaces (we don't strictly need it here because we strip them anyway, but we need that for the moving icon anyway). * Move icon from apport-gtk to apport, since it is/can be shared between frontends. Improvements: * Replaced old apport.png icon stolen from bug-buddy with nice SVG one.

The kernel can call this on an Oops. Add a test suite for it to test-hooks. * apport/ui.py: Add support for reporting ProblemType: Kernel reports, and add test suite for the workflow. * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Add implementation for ui_present_kernel_error(). Improvements: * Merged various apport-retrace improvements from Kees' branch: - Add various options to override some report fields with local values. - Add --verbose option and be quiet by default. - Read ProcMaps for additional library dependencies, to also catch libraries loaded at runtime (plugins). - Set correct debug file directory when starting an interactive gdb session with -g. * Add gtk/apport-gtk.desktop.in: Desktop file for calling apport-gtk in 'file a distro bug' mode, to be displayed in gnome-panel's System menu (see bug-reporting-tool spec). Also add a Makefile to do the intltool-merge dance, add it to POTFILES.in, and ship it in debian/apport-gtk.install. * bin/apport: Call add_os_info(), so that we get architecture information even for 'naked' reports which didn't go through UI enrichment. * Add ./test-hooks: Test suite for the various package hooks shipped with apport. Test the package problem hook for now. Bug fixes: * debian/control: Add missing python-apt dependency to apport (apport-retrace needs it). Thanks to Kees Cook for noticing. * debian/control: Add gdb dependency to python-apport. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py test suite: Verify that packages returned by get_dependencies() actually exist. This catches the 'chops off first letter of package name sometimes' bug. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _init_status(): Add missing space to Depends: field format in dpkg-query call. This fixes the chopped-off first letters in the 'Dependencies' report field. * setup.py: Remove version attribute, we do not update and use it anyway. * apport/ui.py: Do not crash if Package: specifies a nonexisting package.

Bug fixes: * gtk/apport-gtk: Fix return code for restarting the application ('reopen' -> 'restart'). Closes: LP#81422 * test-apport: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface mode: - Check core_pattern instead of the obsolete crashdump sysctl to determine whether or not apport is running. - Give apport max. 10 seconds to complete. The current kernel reaps the crashed process as soon as writing the core dump to the pipe is finished, but apport still needs to write the report file. - Do not EXFAIL the test for crashes in nonwriteable cwd any more, since it is now supposed to work (we do not write a core dump to the disk any more). * run-tests, use-local: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface. * apport: Improve logging of exceptions, include environment variables. * apport/report.py test suite: Use gdb to generate a test core dump, do not rely on kill(SIGSEGV) and the kernel to do it (since we now use a pipe in core_pattern). * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Fix return value of get_modified_files() if dpkg .list file is missing. * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Do not produce stray empty lines for uninstalled alternative dependencies. * apport/report.py: Fix test_add_gdb_info_script() to not leave behind a stray gzip process which randomly blocks stdin. Closes: LP#78421 * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Do not read the dpkg status in the constructor, but lazily initialize it when actually calling a query function. This avoids imposing the dpkg-query overhead for programs that import the apport package without doing package queries (such as any Python program under Ubuntu, due to the Python crash hook). * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title(): - Do not crash on an empty StacktraceTop. Closes: LP#81677 - Do not mention an unknown function name ('??') in the bug title; instead, use the topmost function with a known name, or leave it out at all. - Add test cases for these situations. * apport/report.py, _get_ignore_dom(): Do not throw an error for an empty ignore list file. Code cleanups: * apport/report.py test suite: Refactorize generation of test crash program and core dump generation. * Consistently use 'in'/'not in' instead of find() for substring searches. * Changed the packaging backend import, so that its methods can now be accessed at apport.packaging instead of apport.packging.impl. -- Martin Pitt Sun, 28 Jan 2007 12:34:05 +0100 apport (0.44) feisty; urgency=low Some more 'Need for Speed' optimizations: * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _check_files_md5(): Also accept a md5sum string in addition to a md5sum file. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Compare package file's ctime and mtime against the package list file's mtime and only md5sum the files that are newer. This drastically reduces the amount of md5suming (usually to zero) and thus speeds up the information collection. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Use a single hackish 'dpkg-query --show *' as a portable variant of 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/status' to pre-fill the status cache with all packages instead of calling dpkg -s on every single package we query. This changes the time for figuring out dependencies and their versions from 'unbearable for many packages' to 'barely noticeable'. New feature: per-package apport hooks to collect additional information: * apport/report.py: Add method add_hooks_info() which executes a function add_info(report) from /usr/share/apport/.py. Also add appropriate test cases. This provides per-package hooks for apport. * apport/ui.py: Call add_hooks_info() in the information collection thread. Bug fixes: * apport/report.py: Add some more test cases for _check_interpreted() for Python scripts. * apport/python_hook.py: Check for a correct ExecutablePath in test_general(). * apport/python_hook.py: Use fileutils.likely_packaged() instead of checking for /tmp and home, so that we ignore stuff in /usr/local, too. Closes: LP#81244 * apport/python_hook.py: If we figure out an ExecutablePath which is not actually an executable, do not create a report. This particularly affects interactive python sessions where sys.argv[0] is empty and thus ExecutablePath ends up being the current directory. Add test cases. Closes: LP#81237 -- Martin Pitt Wed, 24 Jan 2007 17:16:04 +0100 apport (0.43) feisty; urgency=low * apport/ui.py: Add method create_crash_bug_title() to construct a reasonable standard bug title for crash reports, so that the automatic duplicate detection actually has a chance to work. Also add test cases for various signal crashes and an unhandled Python exception. * apport/ui.py, file_report(): Submit a default bug title for crash reports. Closes: LP#79657 -- Martin Pitt Tue, 23 Jan 2007 16:26:40 +0100 apport (0.42) feisty; urgency=low New feature: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApportImprovements (kernel interface change): * bin/apport: Support calling without arguments, to support new semantics agreed in the ApportImprovements spec: macro values (in particular, pid and signal number) are passed as environment variables. * preloadlib/libapport.c: Simulate new kernel behaviour described above. * debian/apport.init: Set the kernel's core_pattern sysctl to pipe to apport if the edgy-style 'crashdump-helper' sysctl helper does not exist. Bug fixes: * bin/apport-retrace: Beautify error message when report file is not accessible. Closes: LP#79568 * apport/ui.py: Fix crash in the bug pattern search thread if we could not determine a package name. Closes: LP#77872 * bin/apport: Only unlink the core dump if it still exists. Closes: LP#80866 * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Fix expand/fill attributes so that the expander gets all the space when resizing the window. Closes: LP#80987 * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Make sure that multi-line values that go to the summary are terminated with a newline. * apport/ui.py: Fix error message invocation for reporting cloakroom upload failure. * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Fix off-by-one comparison of the 'inline text' treshold, so that apport's StacktraceTop field appears in bug summaries. Also fix a corner case in CR line ending handling. Check both things in the test suite. * gtk/apport-gtk: Add missing 'import subprocess.'. Closes: LP#81007 * debian/control: Bump apport's and apport-gtk's dependency to python-apport to make sure that apport.ui is available. Closes: LP#81019 * apport/ui.py: Add missing 'import pwd'. Closes: LP#81033 Minor improvements: * apport/ui.py: Get the cloakroom ticket number from the X-Launchpad-Blob-Token HTTP header instead of parsing the resulting page. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 23 Jan 2007 11:27:20 +0100 apport (0.41) feisty; urgency=low New feature: Use Malone cloakroom for uploading reports. Closes: LP#70919 * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Redesign bug reporting dialog to have a 'Create bug report' and a 'Cancel' button. Also assign GTK_RESPONSE_* constants to the dialog buttons. Go back to Glade 2 since Glade 3 still sucks too much. * gtk/apport-gtk: Adjust workflow for sending report to Malone cloakroom instead of asking the user to attach the file. Sending is not yet implemented, though. * gtk/apport-gtk: Do not show any dialogs any more when filing a bug. * Add apport/MultipartPostHandler.py: This module provides an urllib2 opener for uploading file attachments to forms over HTTP POST. This module is (C) 2006 Will Holcomb and was taken from http://odin.himinbi.org/MultipartPostHandler.py. (This is a serious hole of the Python standard library IMHO.) * apport/ui.py, file_report(): Upload blob to Malone (edge.launchpad.net for now), retrieve the ticket, and pass it to +filebug. Refactorizations: * gtk/apport-gtk: Major refactorization to use modal dialogs and run() instead of loosely coupled event handlers. * Add apport/ui.py: Abstract frontend which encapsulates the logic, workflow and UI independent bits and provides UI hooks for concrete implementations. This both makes it easy to write more frontends like Qt or CLI, and also makes the code automatically testable. Add an extensive testsuite. * run-tests: Add ui.py testsuite. * gtk/apport-gtk: Port to ui.py's UserInterface (which means moving 1/3 of the code into the new ui_*() methods and throwing away the rest). * Add apport/REThread.py: Enhanced threading.Thread class that can propagate the return value and uncaught exceptions of run() to the calling thread. * apport/ui.py: Get rid of thread_check_bugpatterns() and hackish exception handling, rewrite using REThread. * apport/ui.py, gtk/apport-gtk: Add progress bar to report upload. It is indefinite for now, because neither urllib2 nor httplib support upload progress. Bug fixes: * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Merged Gnome HIG fixes from Sebastian Heinlein, thank you! * Merge patch from Sebastian Heinlein to properly treat the apport-gtk icon the dh_iconcache way and make it themeable. Thank you! * gtk/apport-gtk: Remove periods from primary dialog texts to comply with Gnome HIG standards. * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_file_package(): Process list files in chunks of 100, so that we do not exceed the maximum command line length if there is a large number of packages installed. Closes: LP#64839 * gtk/apport-gtk: Use pgrep with -u instead of pidof for testing whether the crashed process is already running again, so that we do not match processes of other users. Add procps package dependency for this. * gtk/apport-gtk: Only offer to restart programs that are in the $PATH. E. g. /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin cannot be called directly. Closes: LP#79623 * apport/report.py: Disassemble 16 instructions instead of 32 bytes to become independent of the instruction size. Thanks to Kees Cook for the patch! -- Martin Pitt Mon, 22 Jan 2007 10:47:33 +0100 apport (0.40) feisty; urgency=low * debian/control: Add missing python-dev build dependency, which is apparently required for 2.5 now. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 15 Jan 2007 11:06:20 +0100 apport (0.39) feisty; urgency=low * Introduce abstract packaging interface and move all dpkg/apt specific bits to a dpkg implementation of this packaging interface (merge apport/abstract-pkg branch): - Add apport/packaging.py: Abstract packaging system query interface. - Add backends/packaging-dpkg.py: dpkg implementation of abstract packaging interface. - run-tests: Run tests of all backends. - apport/fileutils.py, apport/report.py: Port to packaging.py interface. - debian/control: Drop python-apport's 'python-apt' dependency since the backend only uses dpkg now (without measurable performance penalty since it uses internal caching). - debian/rules: Install backends/packaging-dpkg.py as our packaging backend to apport/packaging_impl.py and remove it again on clean. -- Martin Pitt Sat, 13 Jan 2007 15:53:08 +0100 apport (0.38) feisty; urgency=low * Add ./COPYING: GPL license. * debian/rules: Build POT file again. * apport/fileutils.py: Add get_all_system_reports() and get_new_system_reports() and added test cases. Now the test suite can also be run as root to be able to actually check their complete behaviour. Adapt the other tests to get along with running the tests as root. * bin/apport-checkreports: Add option --system to check for system crash reports. Closes: LP#62316 * gtk/apport-gtk: If called through sudo to process system crashes, drop privileges to the original user in open_url() so that we get the web browser correctly. (LP#62316) Caveat: The user cannot actually attach the crash report file directly since it is not accessible to the user; this will get fixed once Malone is able to link a bug report with uploaded blobs. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 12 Jan 2007 14:29:44 +0100 apport (0.37) feisty; urgency=low * problem_report.py: Remove the requirement that values must not contain empty lines. Add test cases that reading and writing values with empty lines works, and add a test case that load() properly complains about empty lines in debcontrol encoding (empty lines in values are encoded with a single space). Closes: LP#78094 * apport/report.py test suite: Do not rely on a particular structure of the 'cat' stacktrace; apparently this is not consistent across architectures. Instead, compile a segfaulting mini C program, let it dump core, and test add_gdb_info() on it instead. This also allows us for a more rigid check of StacktraceTop. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 8 Jan 2007 14:44:08 +0100 apport (0.36) feisty; urgency=low * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Restore pulse step of progress bar (this apparently got destroyed when saving with Glade 3). * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Terminate the program properly when closing the progress dialog instead of exiting with an exception. * gtk/apport-gtk: Defer opening of the bug reporting window a bit so that it appears on top of the browser window. Also enable the task bar blinking for it when it is in the background. * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Restore vertical padding of bug report dialog labels (another Glade 3 transition regression). * bin/apport-retrace, apport/report.py: Call gdb on InterpreterPath if present; calling it on a script does not yield anything useful. Add a test case to report.py. * debian/apport.init: Use mkdir -p instead of install -d, since install is not in /bin. Thanks to Kees Cook for catching this. * debian/control: Add missing python-apport dependency 'python-apt', which is not caught by ${python:Depends}. * gtk/apport-gtk: Catch MemoryError when loading a report and display an error dialog instead of just crashing. Closes: LP#76235 * gtk/apport-gtk: Properly catch exceptions from the bug pattern check thread to avoid useless backtraces like in bug #75160. * gtk/apport-gtk: Catch exceptions from decoding of damaged reports and display an error message instead of crashing. Closes: LP#77149 * apport/report.py: Add missing import of 'time' to test suite. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 5 Jan 2007 09:49:01 +0100 apport (0.35) feisty; urgency=low Optimizations: * apport/fileutils.py: Split out heuristics for determining whether a file belongs to a package to new function likely_packaged() and add test cases. * bin/apport: Do not use the expensive find_file_package() any more, use likely_packaged() instead. This will create initial reports in some corner cases (like custom non-packaged executables in /usr/bin/), but greatly reduces I/O impact at crash time. We rely on apport-gtk to deal with reports that do not actually belong to a packaged executable. * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Call gdb just once and split the output instead of calling it again for each command. This should significantly speed up the gdb stage especially for large programs/core dumps. * Use cStringIO instead of StringIO in modules. * gtk/apport-gtk: Code cleanup and refactorization: - Move iteration over crash reports into __main__ to simplify housekeeping in the ApportGTK class and get rid of some functions. - Refactor creation of temporary report file. * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Split the text in the progress bar dialog so that we can use it for multiple steps (like uploading data to Malone) while not breaking translations. New feature: Bug reporting tool (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugReportingTool) * gtk/apport-gtk: Split out crash report initialization to new function show_crashes() so that we can use the frontend for other purposes like bug reporting. * gtk/apport-gtk: Add --file-bug, --package, and --pid options; if given, create a bug report about the given package instead of viewing crash reports. * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Generalize some strings to not talk about 'crash' any more, to make them suitable for bug reporting, too. * gtk/apport-gtk: Support --file-bug without specifying a package or a PID for filing generic distro bugs. * problem_report.py: Add new method write_mime() to encode a problem report in MIME/Multipart RFC 2822 format (i. e. an email with attachments). Short values are aggregated into the first inline text/plain part, large values, binary values, and file references get gzip compressed separate attachments. Also add various test cases. Bug/crash information: * apport/report.py, add_user_info(): Add list of system groups that the user belongs to. * bin/apport: Call add_user_info(), check functionality in test-apport. * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add field 'StacktraceTop' with the top five functions on the stack and no local variables. This reduced 'glimpse' is suitable for inline display in bug reports and automatic processing (dup finders, etc). Bug fixes: * po/Makefile: Add top_srcdir to work with current intltool. * po/de.po: Unfuzz some strings. * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Strip away the 'No symbol table info available' messages from stack traces. * apport/report.py, test_search_bug_patterns(): Use security.u.c. instead of archive.u.c., since the latter times out too often. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 3 Jan 2007 16:45:20 +0100 apport (0.34) feisty; urgency=low * apport/fileutils.py, mark_report_seen(): Do not bail out if os.utime() fails due to access permissions. This happens if the file does not belong to the user calling apport-gtk, but is world-readable (such as ubiquity crash reports). If utime() fails, repeatedly open()/close() the file for reading until atime != ctime, or the 1.2s timeout is reached. Closes: LP#72250 * apport/python_hook.py: Add unit test, call that in run-tests. * apport/python_hook.py: Chmod the generated report to 0600 to not expose potentially private data to the world, and to be consistent with other crash reports. * apport/fileutils.py: Add check_files_md5() and test cases. * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Append list of modified package files to Package: and Dependencies: value. Closes: LP#70946 * bin/apport-retrace: Get along with Package:/Dependencies: fields with list of modified files. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 22 Dec 2006 12:40:55 +0100 apport (0.33) feisty; urgency=low * debian/rules: Convert to cdbs. This fixes the dh_pysupport invocation along the way, too. * gtk/apport-gtk: Rework web browser invocation: Use kfmclient if available, fall back to firefox-remote, then to webbrowser.open(). Do not call x-www-browser any more since this would block if no running browser was open before. * Drop the apport_utils module (and with it the python-apport-utils package), it became too much of a dumping ground. The report file handling functions now live in apport.fileutils, and the debugging information collectors are now methods of a new 'Report' class (subclass of ProblemReport) in the new apport.report module. Adjust all programs accordingly. * Add debian/python-apport.postinst: Remove old .pyc and .pyo cruft on upgrades to clean up after our broken dh_pysupport invocation in earlier versions, so that the new modules are actually used. * Remove debian/apport.postinst: Those cleanups were only necessary for intra-edgy upgrades. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 19 Dec 2006 01:15:27 +0100 apport (0.32) feisty; urgency=low * apport_utils.py: Filter out "no debugging symbols found" warnings from gdb outputs, and add some tests for this. Thanks to Kees Cook for the patch! * test-apport: Fix AGENTPATH directory when building the preload library (recently moved to bin/). * use-local: Fix path to apport as well (recently moved to bin/). * apport-retrace: Use ldd on InterpreterPath if present; ldd'ing scripts will not get us very far. Closes: LP#72201 -- Martin Pitt Thu, 14 Dec 2006 13:42:58 +0100 apport (0.31) feisty; urgency=low * Move scripts to bin/ in source package. * Add apport/python_hook.py: Default exception handler for Python, to create apport reports for unhandled exceptions. Thanks to Robert Collins for this! Closes: LP#70957 * Add new package python-apport to ship the new Python package 'apport'. This includes the python crash hook for now, but in the near future apport-utils will get redesigned and put into this package, too. * debian/control: apport now depends on python-apport instead of python-apport-utils. * apport_utils.py: Quiesce gdb error messages in test suite. -- Martin Pitt Sat, 25 Nov 2006 12:30:41 +0100 apport (0.30) feisty; urgency=low * test-apport, use-local: Support both kernel 2.6.17 and 2.6.19 sysctl names (crashdump-helper vs. crashdump). * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Improve dialog title capitalization. Closes: LP#70652. * debian/apport.cron.daily: Immediately exit if /var/crash does not exist. Create /var/crash in debian/apport.init if it does not exist. Closes: LP#71599 * Convert all tabs in Python source code files to spaces to comply to PEP 8. Thanks to Robert Collins for pointing this out. * apport_utils.py, gtk/apport-gtk: Do not pass None to subprocess arguments if report belongs to a non-packaged program. Thanks to Robert Collins for discovering and fixing this! Closes: LP#70942 * debian/apport.init: Change /var/crash permissions to 1777, so that custom crash handlers (in Python/Mono/etc.) can put reports there. -- Martin Pitt Sat, 25 Nov 2006 10:44:33 +0100 apport (0.29) feisty; urgency=low * apport-retrace: Do not crash if a linked library is not a dependency. Closes: LP#65914 * apport_utils.py: - Add test_find_file_package_diversion() selftest to check diversion handling. - find_file_package(): Check for and respect diversions. - Closes: LP#65917 * debian/apport.init, test-apport, use-local: Adapt to 'crashdump-helper' -> 'crashdump' sysctl renaming in 2.6.19. * test-apport: Restore cwd even when failing a test. * problem_report.py, ProblemReport.write(): Support file-like objects as argument of file references to support direct reading from pipes. Add test case test_write_fileobj(). * apport: Support '-' as core file argument, in which case the core will be read from stdin. This paves the way for using Linux 2.6.19's 'pipe core_pattern' feature. Bump python-problem-report dependency to >= 0.29 for this. * apport: Confine permissions of log file to root:adm 0640, just in case. * apport: Temporarily drop real u/gid to target user for the os.access() tests, so that normal users cannot verify the existence of a given inaccessible file. Add comprehensive tests to apport_utils' test suite and test-apport. Thanks to Kees Cook for this patch! * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Terminate fgrep options with '--' to avoid problems with funny file names. Thanks to Kees Cook for spotting this! * test-apport: Automatically detect whether ULIMIT_CORE is nonzero, and adapt tests accordingly: check that core still exists after invoking apport, and clean it up. * apport-retrace: Add new mode -g/--gdb which starts an interactive gdb session with the report's core dump. Add this to man/apport-retrace.1, too. * apport-retrace: If -c is given, completely remove the CoreDump field from the report instead of setting it to 'removed'. * test-apport: When using 'lib' mode, point APPORT_LOG_FILE to a temporary file. Print it if the test suite fails. * test-apport: Fix EXFAILure of the 'core dump works for non-writable cwds' test case. * preloadlib: Support -DPIPE_CORE mode which emulates the pipe-in-core_pattern mode of kernel 2.6.19. * test-apport: Build preload library with core piping. No more failed test suite checks in 'lib' mode. -- Martin Pitt Sun, 5 Nov 2006 07:10:30 -0800 apport (0.28) edgy; urgency=low "No core - ignore!" * apport: Do not create a report for crashes which we do not get a core dump for. The reports are useless and only clutter our bug tracker. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 9 Oct 2006 15:22:32 +0200 apport (0.27) edgy; urgency=low * apport: Ignore SIGABRT for now; it's usually signalled from abort() or assertion failures and we only get reports with unusable stack traces for it (see #61938). * gtk/apport-gtk: If gnome-open is not available, fall back to x-www-browser instead of using webbrowser.py, to respect default browser in XFCE. Closes: LP#64209 * apport: use os.nice() instead of executing 'renice'. Thanks to Benoit Boissinot for noticing. * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Lower() both strings in the speedup heuristics to match e. g. /usr/bin/Xorg -> xserver-xorg. Thanks to Kees Cook! * apport_utils.py, report_add_package_info(): Do not crash if we encounter a 'None' current version, which can happen with uninstalled alternative dependencies. Thanks to Kees Cook for tracking this down! -- Martin Pitt Fri, 6 Oct 2006 17:15:08 +0200 apport (0.26) edgy; urgency=low * apport-retrace: Clean up code a bit: - Move option parsing to separate function. - Use apport_utils' report_add_gdb_info() instead of duplicating the gdb code. * apport_utils.py, report_add_gdb_info(): Add optional parameter 'debugdir' to specify an alternate debug file symbol root directory. * apport-retrace: Add option -d/--download-debug to automatically download available ddebs, create a temporary debug symbol directory from already installed and downloaded ddebs, and point gdb to use that. Also add option -C/--cache-dir to specify a permanent ddeb cache directory (by default, a temporary one is used). Update the manpage accordingly. * apport-retrace: Make the best out of a report without packaging information (which can happen if the user does not click on 'report bug' in apport-gtk). * apport_utils, report_add_proc_info(): - Move heuristics for detecting interpreted scripts to a separate function to be able to provide separate test cases for it. Check a few more special cases for mono programs. - Make interpreter heuristics even scarier to detect some more mono corner cases (like banshee and beagled-helper). Closes: LP#58859 -- Martin Pitt Wed, 4 Oct 2006 19:10:47 +0200 apport (0.25) edgy; urgency=low * Drop apport-gtk's update-notifier dependency to a Recommends:. * apport_utils.py, report_add_gdb_info(): Add register dump and disassembly of the last 32 bytes, they might be useful to see what's going on sometimes. Thanks to Kees Cook for the idea and the patch. * test-apport, check_crash(): Verify that a crash does not leave a core file behind. (Test for LP#62972) * preloadlib/libapport.c: Do not unlink the core file after calling apport, but set REMOVE_CORE=1 environment instead. This matches the current kernel behaviour. * apport: Register an atexit handler as early as possible for unlinking the core dump if REMOVE_CORE environment is set. Closes: LP#62972 * apport: Set nice level 10 instead of 5. Closes: LP#63099 -- Martin Pitt Mon, 2 Oct 2006 14:21:53 +0200 apport (0.24) edgy; urgency=low The "Need for speed" release -- rrrroarrr! * apport: Remove _copy_shrink_corefile(): While this has an enormous impact on the size of an uncompressed core dump, it only causes a negligible size reduction of the bzip2'ed core, but it needs a lot of I/O resources for large core dumps. * problem_report.py: - Use zlib instead of bzip2 for compressing the binary data (in particular, core dumps). This results in slightly bigger files, but speeds up compression a lot (30 seconds vs. ~2:45 minutes for a Firefox core dump on my slow iBook). Closes: LP#61538 - ProblemReport.read(): Support both bzip2 and zlib compression to be able to read existing reports, too. - Add/Adapt test cases. * Move InformationCollector._get_gdb() from apport to apport_utils.py report_add_gdb_info(), and add a test case for it. * apport_utils.py, report_add_package_info(): Support calling without a package name, then it will be figured out from ExecutableName. Extend test case accordingly. * test-apport: Do not require apport reports to contain gdb, packaging, and OS information, since we are going to move them out of apport. * apport: Do not collect static information. It requires a lot of CPU and I/O resources and slows down the machine a lot, and it can be added to the report later in the frontend. This also gets rid of the entire InformationCollector class, since everything has been moved to apport_utils.py now. Closes: LP#62542 * apport: Do not intercept KeyboardInterrupt as unhandled exception (only useful for command line debugging, though). * problem_report.py: Add test case for appending new data to an existing report, fix write() function to not rely on an existing ProblemType key. * problem_report.py: Add new method ProblemReport.add_to_existing() to update an already existing problem report with new data. Add test case. * apport_utils.py, mark_report_seen(): Use os.utime() instead of open()/read() and a timeout for simpler and faster operation. * gtk/apport-gtk: - Collect gdb/packaging/operating system information when the user chooses to file a bug and update the apport report. - Change the 'Downloading bug patterns...' progress dialog to 'Collecting information about the crash...'. * debian/control: Bumped library dependencies of apport-gtk, added update-notifer dependency. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 29 Sep 2006 15:47:56 +0200 apport (0.23) edgy; urgency=low * apport: Reset signal handler to SIG_IGN in the crash signal handler, to avoid an endless crash/handler loop (noticed during debugging LP#61708). * debian/apport.init: Do not let the script run with set -e, so that do_{start,stop} can deliver their return codes for proper evaluation, instead of immediately existing. Closes: LP#61796 * test-apport: Check that SIGQUIT does not generate a report. (Check for bug #62511). * apport: Ignore SIGQUIT. Closes: LP#62511 -- Martin Pitt Thu, 28 Sep 2006 20:57:38 +0200 apport (0.22) edgy; urgency=low * apport_utils.py, report_add_proc_info(): Make 'interpreted script' detection more general to also work for mono programs. * test-apport: Check that non-packaged scripts do not generate a report. * apport: Call ic.collect_runtime_information() earlier and drop the local /proc/pid/exe examination, so that we get proper script detection. This avoids getting crash reports for non-packaged scripts (see test case change from above). * apport: Do not try to chmod the report file if we could not create it and output to stderr instead (this mainly affects local testing only). * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): First grep the package lists whose names are a substring of the crashed binary name (or vice versa), to immensely speed up the package name determination in many cases. * apport: Drop the maximum number of consecutive crashes per executable from 5 to 2. 5 creates a too bad user experience and creates the impression that it will never stop. Closes: LP#61078 -- Martin Pitt Tue, 19 Sep 2006 16:16:46 +0200 apport (0.21) edgy; urgency=low * apport: Keep a partially written report with '000' permissions, and only chmod it to 0600 when it is fully written. This stops update-notifier from picking up half-written reports and get activated several times. Closes: LP#59988 * apport: Add the executable path to the first line of logging. * apport: Run the complete code under control of the general exception fallback handler. * debian/apport.default: Increase maximum core size to 200 MB, to also catch Firefox and Evolution core dumps. * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Before searching the dpkg database (which is expensive), check if the executable path matches a whitelist of path prefixes. This replaces the weaker blacklist (/tmp and /home) in apport itself. * gtk/apport-gtk: Show a progress dialog while checking for bug patterns and execute report_search_bug_patterns() in a separate thread, so that the UI is not potentially blocked for a long time. * apport: Gracefully abort if we cannot readlink /proc/pid/exe, instead of falling over with an exception. Closes: LP#59993 * debian/rules: Use 'multiuser' instead of 'defaults' for dh_installinit. Clean up the unnecessary rc symlinks in postinst and add appropriate sysv-rc dependency. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 14 Sep 2006 23:16:26 +0200 apport (0.20) edgy; urgency=low * apport: Renice ourself to priority 5 to not slow down the user's processes so heavily. * Add manpages for apport-retrace(1) and apport-unpack(1) and install them into apport. Closes: LP#58463 * problem_report.py: Test attaching two files instead of one in the test_write_file() regression check to assert correct key sorting. * problem_report.py: Alter write() method to sort binary data to the end of the report. This makes reports easier to read, and also shows relevant information more quickly when progressively loading them in a web browser. Adapt regression tests accordingly. * Move setting of ExecutablePath from apport's InformationCollector ctor to apport_utils' report_add_proc_info(), where it belongs to. Check ExecutablePath in apport_utils' regression tests. * apport-unpack: Support '-' as report argument to read from stdin. * apport_utils.py, report_add_proc_info(): - Apply some heuristics to determine whether the crashed process is an interpreted script (check if the Name in /proc/pid/status matches the second /proc/pid/cmdline part, and if that command line argument is an existing executable file). In the case of an interpreted script, set ExecutablePath to the script and InterpreterPath to the actually crashed ELF binary. - Test this with a shell (/bin/zgrep) and a Python (./apport-unpack) script in the test suite. - Closes: LP#58859 * Add debian/apport.logrotate to add a daily 7-step /var/log/apport log rotation. * test-apport: Fix WCOREDUMP() and pidof checks in check_crash(). * apport: Install a signal handler for all 'crashy' signals, which just logs the signal and stack info and exits. This should avoid a crashing apport examining itself, possibly in an endless loop. Closes: LP#58873 -- Martin Pitt Mon, 11 Sep 2006 09:20:18 +0200 apport (0.19) edgy; urgency=low * apport_utils.py: Add function report_search_bug_patterns(): Try to download a package specific bug pattern XML file from a given URL base directory and return the bug URL in case of a match. Also add extensive test suite check. * test-apport: Fix help message. * apport-gtk: Make use of the new report_search_bug_patterns() function and display appropriate instructions on match. Bump python-apport-utils dependency. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 5 Sep 2006 11:31:17 +0200 apport (0.18) edgy; urgency=low The "mating dance for ubiquity" release. * apport-gtk: - Use pidof's -x option in the detection whether the program is already running to correctly handle scripts. - Do not assume the presence of the ExecutablePath key in reports, but gracefully fall back to Package. - If the report specifies an explicit DesktopFile, use that instead of trying to figure it out. - Only created reduced report and show the radio buttons if there are actually removed fields. - Change tooltip of 'reduced report' radio button to be more generic (do not refer to the memory dump, but to 'large items', since this is what apport-gtk currently does). - Support new field 'BugDisplayMode: file | list (default)'. In 'file' mode, display the /+filebug page instead of /+bugs and change instructions accordingly. - Use the ProcCmdline attibute to restart an application; correctly parsing of all the desktop file is just not possible at this point. - Support new field 'RespawnCommand' to use custom respawning command. * problem_report.py: Add method has_removed_fields() to check whether load() skipped any fields due to binary=False. Add test suite check. * apport_utils.py: Fix the quoting in ProcCmdline so that it is fully shell compatible. * run-tests: Check if kernel crash dump helper is active, and if so, run test-apport in kernel mode. * problem_report.py: Support an optional second argument of file references which controls whether or not the file contents will be compressed/encoded (defaults to True for backwards compatibility). Add test suite checks. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 25 Aug 2006 14:01:47 +0200 apport (0.17) edgy; urgency=low * Move packaging information collection from apport to new function report_add_package_info() in apport_utils.py, add test suite check. * Move operating system information collection from apport to new function report_add_os_info() in apport_utils.py, add test suite check. * Move /proc information collection from apport to new function report_add_proc_info() in apport_utils.py, add test suite check, and fix handling of failed /proc/$$/environ reading. * preloadlib/libapport.c: Route gcore's stderr to /dev/null to suppress error messages during the test suite and to become more compatible to the kernel behaviour. * Change apport_utils.py to be a public module and ship it in the new python-apport-utils package, so that other applications like ubiquity can use it easily. * po/de.po: Add new translations to make this complete again. * problem_report.py, apport_utils.py: Prepend UnitTest classes with '_' so that they do not appear in the help() output. * apport_utils.py: Add make_report_path(), which constructs the canonical crash report pathname for a given report. * Add debian/apport.postinst: Remove /usr/share/apport/apport_utils.pyc when upgrading from an earlier version, so that the programs in /usr/share/apport actually use the version from p-apport-utils. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 22 Aug 2006 18:14:00 +0200 apport (0.16) edgy; urgency=low * test-apport: Check that non-packaged binaries do not generate a report. * apport_utils.py: Add find_file_package() to find the package a file belongs to. This uses fgrep /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list which is much faster than dpkg -S. Also add test suite check. * apport: Use find_file_package() instead of direct dpkg -S call and pass the result to the InformationCollector ctor to avoid grepping the dpkg lists twice. * apport: Immediately exit if the executable name starts with /home or /tmp, to avoid grepping the dpkg database in the common developer case. * apport: Replace 0-bytes in ProcCmdline with spaces to keep them readable. * apport-gtk: Offer an alternative small report (without the core dump) for users with slow internet connection. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 21 Aug 2006 19:34:47 +0200 apport (0.15) edgy; urgency=low * Add apport-unpack: Script to extract the fields of a problem report into separate files into a new or empty directory. Mainly useful for extracting compressed binary data like the core dump. * test-apport: Check that dumped environment only contains security insensitive variables. * apport: Filter out all environment variables but $SHELL, $PATH, and locale/language related ones. Closes: LP#56846 * test-apport: Delete test report in the cleanup handler so that the kernel-mode test can be run multiple times without manual cleanup. * test-apport: Check for running apport and test executable processes in check_crash(). * preloadlib/libapport.c: Improve error checking, some robustification. * test-apport: If using the preload library, wait a second between the test process invocations in the flooding test to mitigate a strange race condition that sometimes causes the signal handler not to be executed. -- Martin Pitt Sun, 20 Aug 2006 16:28:43 +0200 apport (0.14) edgy; urgency=low * preloadlib/libapport.c: Write core dump into cwd instead of /tmp to act like the current kernel. * apport_utils.py: Check APPORT_REPORT_DIR environment variable for an alternate crash report directory. This is mainly useful for a local test suite. * apport: Quiesce the apt module's FutureWarning. * preloadlib/libapport.c: Re-raise the signal instead of doing exit() so that the process exits with the same code as it would do without the library. * preloadlib/libapport.c: Close stdout for gcore process. * Add test-apport: Use preloadlib/ and APPORT_REPORT_DIR to create a sandboxed environment and run various apport functionality tests. Also add this script to run-tests. * apport_utils.py, delete_report(): Actually try to unlink the report before falling back to truncating it to zero bytes. * preloadlib/libapport.c: Close stderr for apport process. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 18 Aug 2006 15:46:37 +0200 apport (0.13) edgy; urgency=low * Do not run the test suite on build since on the buildds modifying file atimes does not work. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 18 Aug 2006 00:59:26 +0200 apport (0.12) edgy; urgency=low * apport-gtk: Make bug report window resizable when the details are expanded. Closes: LP#56672 * apport_utils.py: Add get_recent_crashes() and a test suite check for it. * apport: If the same binary produced more than 5 crashes in the last 24 hours, ignore the crash. This is a hideous and pretty ad-hoc band-aid to avoid flooding users with reports for continuously crashing respawning processes. Closes: LP#56362 * apport: Clean up exit codes to only exit with 0 if report was created, and with 1 otherwise (to become more compatible to proposed future kernel behaviour, where core dumps are only generated on demand). * Add run-tests script which calls all available selftests. * debian/rules: Run run-tests during build to have the package FTBFS on regressions. Add python build dependency for this (it is already there implicitly anyway). -- Martin Pitt Thu, 17 Aug 2006 16:06:41 +0200 apport (0.11) edgy; urgency=low * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Remove separators from dialogs. Closes: LP#56326 * apport: - Move information collection from ctor to two new separate functions collect_runtime_information() (fast, privileged, crashed process must exist) and collect_static_information() (slow, unprivileged, crashed process does not need to exist). This allows a cleaner design. - Add missing close() call in init_error_log(). - Do not catch SystemExit in the final catch-all-and-log clause (will become important once we switch to master/slave processes). - Clean up handling of temporary files. - Log successful report creation with file and package name, to ease debugging. - transitive_dependencies(): Do not break on pure virtual dependencies (like perl-api-XXX). * Add debian/apport.default: Default file to disable apport entirely and to change the maximum size of kernel created core dumps. * debian/apport.init: Evaluate new default file. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 16 Aug 2006 17:05:19 +0200 apport (0.10) edgy; urgency=low * apport-gtk: Show report file size in bug report window. * apport: Correctly handle relative paths to core dumps (use crashed process' cwd). * Fix the GPL URLs in source file's copyright comments. * debian/apport.cron.daily: Add -mindepth 1 to find commands to avoid attempting to remove the /var/crash/ directory. Closes: LP#55107 * problem_report.py: - Fix precise whitespace handling in continuation lines, add selftest. - Add selftest for reading a report, modifying fields, and writing it back. - Fix writing back binary data, adapt test suite to check it. - Fixed ProblemReport.load() to clean up old data, added selftest. - Restructure class to inherit from IterableUserDict and throw away all the now obsolete dictionary wrapper methods. * debian/apport.init: Add colon to description to make output less confusing. * Add apport-retrace and install it into apport: This tool takes a crash report and refreshes the stack traces in it. This is particularly useful if debug symbols are installed now, but haven't been at the time the crash occured. -- Martin Pitt Fri, 11 Aug 2006 15:40:05 +0200 apport (0.9) edgy; urgency=low * apport: Call objcopy to throw out READONLY/CODE sections from the core dump, which drastically reduces its (uncompressed) size (factor 2 to 10). This has little effect on the bzip2'ed core dump, though. * apport: - Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the location of a core dump. - If a core dump is given, call gdb on the core dump instead of the crashed process. We cannot attach to the latter if we are called by the kernel (since the crashed process is in uninterruptible kernel sleep). - If no core dump is given, do not attempt to do anything gdb related. - This matches the future behaviour of the kernel crash dump helper while remaining compatible to the previous call semantics. * Add preloadlib/{Makefile,libapport.c}: LD_PRELOADable library which emulates the future kernel behaviour. This is ONLY for testing and development purposes. It uses unsafe temporary file handling and thus must not be used on production boxes! * Ship preloadlib/* as examples in package 'apport' for people who want to play with it until the new kernel arrives. * Add preloadlib/README: Explain how to use the preload library. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 9 Aug 2006 12:12:20 +0200 apport (0.8) edgy; urgency=low * apport_utils.py: - Add two new functions seen_report() and mark_report_seen(). - get_new_reports(): Only return unseen reports, add function get_all_reports() for the old behaviour. * gtk/apport-gtk.py: Do not delete reports after notifying about them. This way, we do not need to add another button to save the report (which is considered evil UI-wise), but still retain the report for filing and examining later. * Replace all usages of '/var/crash' to a new global variable in apport_utils; this is particularly useful for test suites. * apport.py: Overwrite old reports if they are seen. * apport_utils.py: Add a test suite for all exported functions. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 8 Aug 2006 19:29:23 +0200 apport (0.7) edgy; urgency=low * Add apport_utils.py: Factorize out some common code of apport-gtk, possible future frontends, and some backend tools. * Add apport-checkreports: Test if there are new crash reports for the invoking user. This factorizes out the tests we currently do in update-notifier and makes them easier to change and keep in sync with apport itself. Ship the script in the apport package. -- Martin Pitt Tue, 8 Aug 2006 17:24:46 +0200 apport (0.6) edgy; urgency=low * Add missing intltool build dependency to fix FTBFS. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 3 Aug 2006 09:15:42 +0200 apport (0.5) edgy; urgency=low * apport-gtk: Remove the crash report after it got displayed. * apport-gtk: Fix exception on startup if no readable crash reports exist. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 2 Aug 2006 23:42:34 +0200 apport (0.4) edgy; urgency=low * Implement completely new UI according to the design described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting. Many thanks to Matthew Paul Thomas! * po/Makefile: Fix default target to not just break. Now it builds the .pot file. * debian/rules: Build .pot file on package build for automatic Rosetta import. * Bring German translations up to date. * po/Makefile: Supply '--language=python' to intltool-update to properly extract strings from apport-gtk. -- Martin Pitt Wed, 2 Aug 2006 23:14:58 +0200 apport (0.3) edgy; urgency=low * debian/rules clean: Also clean po/. * debian/apport.cron.daily: Clean away empty files everytime. * apport: Only consider a report as already present if it has a non-zero size. * apport: Set proper group for report files instead of 'root'. * apport-gtk: Ignore 0-sized reports. * apport-gtk: Add button to remove the current report (by truncating the file to zero bytes; a user cannot unlink files in /var/crash). * apport-gtk: Only display reports that the user can actually read. * problem_report.py: Add 'binary' option to ProblemReport.load() to optionally skip binary data. * debian/rules: Clean stale *.pyc files. * python-gtk: Do not load binary data (core dumps, etc.) to greatly speed up the GUI. They are just gibberish anyway. * apport: Switch from apt_pkg to apt, add SourcePackage: to reports. * apport-gtk: Use source package name for the Malone URL. * debian/rules: Call setup.py install with --no-compile to not ship *.pyc in debs. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 31 Jul 2006 13:11:52 +0200 apport (0.2) edgy; urgency=low * debian/apport.cron.daily: Do not produce error messages if 'find' does not find any crash reports. * problem_report.py: Support iterators, add test case. * apport: Filter out trailing 0-byte from ProcCmdline. * Add a simple GTK frontend, ship it in new package apport-gtk. -- Martin Pitt Thu, 27 Jul 2006 23:52:33 +0200 apport (0.1) edgy; urgency=low * Initial release. This package implements the client backend part of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedProblemReports. -- Martin Pitt Mon, 24 Jul 2006 14:21:10 +0200
