description |
The apport package hook for dkms packages seems to have an error in its supported kernel check. If the kernel is an unsupported one, the hook should exit with a return code of 1. However, in the Ubuntu Error Tracker we can see some crashes with unsupported kernel versions e.g.:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766
DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency
If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's do that. |
Test Case
---------
1) Look for some dkms package in /usr/src e.g. bbswitch-0.8
2) Run python3 /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/dkms_packages.py -m bbswitch -v 0.8 -k 4.6.1-01234-lowlatency
3) Observe a crash report dialog from apport for bbswitch
With the version of apport from -proposed you will instead receive:
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-4.6.1-01234-lowlatency is not supported
