On Ubuntu Kylin detect all packages as not genuine

[Fabio Marconi]

Hallo
In Vivid if I run apport-bug (pkg) it always return that is not a genuine package:

The problem cannot be reported:

This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again.

see attached screenshot.
Set as critical because it represent a loss of informations in a test environement ( eg: a medium user feel discouraged to report a bug)
Thanks
Fabio

P.S.:
This start happening after apport's upgrades and NOT runing a fresh installation.

I think you need to run apt-get update, then it'll work.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hallo,
As suggested in the list I've cleaned out the /var/lib/apt/lists/* then updated the cahce but the error still present.
Best regards

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Could you run apport-collect for this bug report? What desktop environment are you using?

Hallo Brian
Your suspects about the desktop environement are right, this was originally an Ubuntu desktop installation over wich I have installed the Ubuntu Kylin desktop env.
Best regards

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Could you show the output of apt-cache policy apport and also add your /etc/apt/sources.list file? Thanks!

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Of course, here they are:

njin@ZZZZ:~$ apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 2.16.1-0ubuntu2

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

What do you have in the directory /usr/share/apport/general-hooks?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

I have these:

njin@ZZZZ:~$ ls /usr/share/apport/general-hooks
clickinfo.py generic.py powerpc.py ubuntu.py

How did you install Ubuntu Kylin? Its strange to me that DistroRelease says 14.10 but the bug is tagged vivid.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hallo
I installed a normal Ubuntu 14.04.01, upgraded to Utopic, upgraded to Vivid and then I have installed Ubuntukylin-desktop.
I am trying just now to redo all the steps I made to see if it is reproducible.
I've also tried a daily build of Vivid in wich apport is working normally.
Best regards

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hallo Brian
I have reistalled the system using a Ubuntu-Kylin Vivid image some weeks ago and it was working.
Now after these latest upgrades it is broken again, same behavior as before, all the packages are detected as NOT genuine.
Weird things I have done are installation of Ubuntu's mainline kernels and utilities like gdebi, synaptic, xchat and sogou pinyin input method, all fully working.
Any hint??
Best regards

This happens because /etc/os-release contains NAME="Ubuntu Kylin" and is_distro_package from packaging-apt-dpkg.py uses that as a part of checking if if the package is of "native" origin.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I did have a crash report from an Ubuntu Kylin install appear in the Error Tracker though:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/72a8f026-c671-11e4-bbc6-fa163e4ccdf2

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Yes!!
I've manually edited the /etc/os-release file deleting kylin and it works.
Thanks and best regards

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

> This happens because /etc/os-release contains NAME="Ubuntu Kylin" and

Eek! That's not intended..

So could whatever modifies this file also create a corresponding /etc/apport/native-origins.d/ubuntu-kylin containing "Ubuntu Kylin"?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hallo Martin
Happy to meet you
I do not have that file in my Vivid Kylin, inside /etc/apport/native-origins.d I have firefox and thunderbird files, nothing more.
Thanks and best regards

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

It's the ubuntukylin-default-settings package which modifies /etc/os-release:

 $ grep -r 'os-release' *
debian/ubuntukylin-default-settings.postrm: sed -i "/NAME/s/Ubuntu Kylin/Ubuntu/g" /etc/os-release
debian/changelog: * Be more specific in replacing Ubuntu in /etc/os-release to prevent
debian/changelog: * Use os-release instead of ubuntukylin-release
debian/ubuntukylin-default-settings.preinst: sed -i 's/\(NAME="Ubuntu\)"/\1 Kylin"/' /etc/os-release
debian/ubuntukylin-default-settings.preinst: sed -i 's/\(PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu\) 1/\1 Kylin 1/' /etc/os-release

So that package should also contain the apport setup in comment #23.

This bug still exists in UK15.04-0311-Daily-amd64.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntukylin-default-settings - 1.3.7

---------------
ubuntukylin-default-settings (1.3.7) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Install native origin configuration for apport (LP: #1419061)
