does not add UserInfo: for Python crashes

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: apport

As seen in bug 133744, apport does not add the user's auxiliary groups to Python crashes, which would have been very useful there.

Fixed in bzr head.

apport (0.99) hardy; urgency=low

  * cli/apport-cli, qt4/apport-qt: Fix typo 'send' -> 'sent'.
    (LP: #139288)
  * apport_python_hook.py: Add user info, too. Also add check for this to the
    test suite. (LP: #145109)
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Show a proper UI error message instead of just
    crashing with an exception if the crash report is inaccessible for the
    invoking user. (LP: #146464)
  * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Implement mark_retraced(),
    get_unretraced(), and get_dup_unchecked() for completeness, and define
    _MemoryCrashDBTest also when not running file as __main__. This makes the
    class useful for higher-level test suites. Add test cases for the new
    functions.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Support 'dummy_data' option which adds a
    few dummy crashes by default. This is useful for external test suites
    which cannot otherwise pre-fill the in-memory db. Add checks that this
    works properly.
  * bin/crash-digger: Use self.log() more consistently, and flush stdout in
    log(), so that we do not lose logs on output redirection.
  * Add test-crash-digger: Initial test suite for bin/crash-digger.
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Intercept CRC errors from the info collection
    thread, which happens on broken core dumps. (LP: #132212)
  * cli/apport-cli, ui_present_package_error(): Fix running of dialog, so that
    reporting package problems with apport-cli actually works. (LP: #136369)
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Intercept ENOSPC and present a proper error
    message. (LP: #145100)
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Fix title of upload progress window to comply to
    HIG. Thanks, Bruce Cowan. (LP: #144782)
  * qt4/apport-qt: Fix Unicode <-> UTF-8 conversion. Thanks, Daniel Hahler!
    (LP: #148177)
  * apport/ui.py: Only import xdg.DesktopEntry when a .desktop file has been
    found in the affected package. This avoids the dependency on servers with
    just apport-cli. Thanks, Matthias Gug! (LP: #130013)
  * apport/fileutils.py: Do not fail if there are no packages installed which
    have one or several .desktop files. Thanks, Matthias Gug!
