description |
The Oneiric version of apport does not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault in them as we'd rather have the crash report than the package installation failure. This should be SRU'ed into previous releases of Ubuntu so that we prevent reporting of unnecessary bugs. |
The Oneiric version of apport does not report package installation failures that contain a segmentation fault in them as we'd rather have the crash report than the package installation failure. This should be SRU'ed into previous releases of Ubuntu so that we prevent reporting of unnecessary bugs.
TEST CASE:
1) Modify /usr/share/debconf/confmodule to include 'kill -SEGV $$' in line 4
(we are replicating a segfault in an underlying part of a package installation)
2) Using software-center install checksecurity
3) Observe the installation fail due to a segfault
4) You should receive an apport package install failure dialog offering you to report the crash
cleanup:
1) revert the change in /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
2) remove and purge checksecurity
3) remove the checksecurity crash file in /var/crash
proposed package test case
1) install apport from -proposed
2) modify /usr/share/debconf/confmodule again
3) install checksecurity using software center
4) Observe the installation fail due to a segfault
5) You should NOT receive an apport package install failure dialog offering you to report the crash
Additionally there should be no file written to /var/crash/ |
