2020-06-24 21:14:21 Brian Murray description The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding apport. This problem was most recently seen with package version 2.20.11-0ubuntu40, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/976abccbca7b548c9ccf155c80c8eb6f36efa7de contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports. If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/. [Impact] The distribution upgrade process is passing to apport packages with numbers prepended to them, this then causes apport to crash and bugs about package installation failures not to be reported.

If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/. [Impact] The distribution upgrade process is passing to apport packages with numbers prepended to them, this then causes apport to crash and bugs about package installation failures not to be reported. [Test Case] 1) Install the package pure-ftpd on an 18.04 LTS system 2) Run 'do-release-upgrade -d' to upgrade to 20.04 LTS With the version of the dist-upgrader in the release pocket you'll receive the Traceback in comment #2. To test the dist-upgrader from -proposed you'll actually have to download and use the dist-upgrader tarball from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-proposed/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/focal.tar.gz. When running that version of the dist-upgrader you should not receive a Traceback and have a pure-ftpd-common crash file in /var/crash/. [Regression Potential] The code change is a just a simple check to see if the package name starts with a number which then removes the number. So the only chance of regression is the additional python code being bad which it isn't.

This is actually also recreatable when upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04 and that would be easier as you can use 'do-release-upgrader -p' to test the new version of the dist-upgrader.
