Bug Description
There is a potential conffiles prompt when upgrading to vivid if report_metrics has been enabled, as we remove the report_crashes and use service enablement.
Moving that value to a non conffiles (/ect/whoopsie) and using that in whoopsie-
The conffile (/etc/default/
[General]
report_crashes=true
For now, we remove the "report_crashes" (job enablement value) in preinst with sedding, and ship a new conffiles:
[General]
However, user might have changed the report metrics option in gnome-control-
[General]
report_crashes=true
report_metrics=true
Proposal:
1. we continue transitioning, removing "report_crashes" and cache that for job enablement/
2. we remove completely the conffile on upgrade/removal
3. we move report_metrics value (if present in conffiles) to /etc/whoopsie, file with only
[General]
report_metrics= true
if report_metrics was set to true
4. we patch whoopsie g-c-c capplet to read/update from /etc/whoopsie

whoopsie-
* Now use service status (upstart and systemd) to notify if crash reporting

* Default file for whoopsie settings (only used for report_metrics currently)
is now /etc/whoopsie (LP: #1431432)
