In bug 1001715 we can see a package installation failure with the message:
dpkg-deb: error: `/var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-7-jre-lib_7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu2_all.deb' is not a debian format archive
These should not be reportable as they are indicative a corrupt or faulty package. I've committed a fix for this to apport for Quantal:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/quantal/apport/ubuntu/revision/1961
However, only 24 of these have been reported so far:

so an SRU may not be worth the work. In the event the we decide it is Steve Langasek came up with the following for recreating the error with a good package:
#!/bin/sh
set -e

do
case $i in
/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb)
cp /bin/bash $i

SRU REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Very low, the new condition is very specific on the error message in dpkg.log. It could potentially prevent real bugs from being reported if a package file "a.deb" is damaged, but you are trying to install a package "b.deb" in the same run which fails for some other reason. That seems to be a corner case, though, and on a system which managed to corrupt .deb files we do not have a lot of faith in any more anyway.
SRU TEST CASE:
- Move dpkg aside: sudo mv /usr/bin/dpkg{,.real}
- Replace /usr/bin/dpkg with the wrapper from above, and make it executable
- Try to install a package, e. g. "sudo apt-get install pmount"
- Confirm that it fails with "is not a debian format archive"
- Apport should pop up; try to report the bug
- It will succeed in the precise version, but will abort with "cannot be reported" with this fix. |
