+
+ * New upstream release. Changes since our previous snapshot:
+ - Add support for -w/--window option which will enable user to select a
+ window as a target for filing a problem report. Thanks Abhinav Upadhyay.
+ (LP: #357847)
+ - Disable the filtering on SIGABRT without assertion messages. Turns out
+ that developers want these crash reports after all. (LP: #729223)
+ - Add support for a "DuplicateSignature" report fields. This allows
+ package hooks to implement custom duplicate problem handling which
+ doesn't need to be hardcoded in Apport itself. Update the launchpad
+ backend to tag such bugs as "need-duplicate-check".
+ - hookutils.py Update WifiSyslog regex to correctly catch application log
+ messages in syslog. Thanks Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre. (LP: #732917)
+ - hookutils.py, attach_hardware(): Avoid error message if machine does not
+ have a PCI bus. Thanks Marcin Juszkiewicz. (LP: #608449)
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Replace deprecated getChanges() call
+ with get_changes().
+ - apport-gtk: Fix broken dialog heading if the name of the crashed program
+ contains an & or other markup specific characters.
+ - apport-gtk: Don't crash if GTK cannot be initialized. This usually
+ happens without a $DISPLAY or when the session is being shut down. Just
+ print an error message. If there are pending crashes, they will be shown
+ again the next time a session starts. (LP: #730569)
+ * debian/local/apport-chroot: In retracing mode, fix the passed --auth and
+ --duplicate-db arguments to be paths within the fakechroot.
+ * debian/local/apport-chroot: Apply the same absolute path fix to retracing
+ mode that we already applied to login mode in 1.19-0ubuntu1.

+ - apt backend: Do not generate a warning if the opportunistically added -dbg
+ package does not exist.
+ - apt backend: Only add -dbg in --no-pkg mode, as there will be conflicts in
+ normal package mode.
+ - apt backend: Call tar with target cwd instead of using -C; the latter causes
+ an extra openat() call which breaks with current fakechroot.
+ - launchpad.py: Fix retracer crash if DistroRelease field does not exist.
+ - Convert deprecated failIf()/assert_() TestCase method calls to

+ - Add CrashDatabase.update() for adding all new fields of a report. This is
+ primarily useful for collecting local standard and package hook data for an
+ already existing bug report which was not filed through Apport. This checks

+ all interfaces: -cli, -gtk, -kde). When giving a single argument and no
+ options, determine the most likely mode, like reporting a bug against a
+ symptom, package, executable name, or PID.
+ - Add program "apport-bug" which determines the most appropriate user
+ interface (GTK, KDE, CLI) and files a bug through it, using the single
+ argument "do what I mean" mode. This is an improved version of Ubuntu's
+ "ubuntu-bug" script.
+ - Update apport-cli manpage to current set of options and behaviour. Also
+ point out that apport-gtk and apport-kde share the same CLI.
+ - setup.py now installs apport-{gtk,kde} into $prefix/share/apport/, they
+ are not supposed to be called directly. This also reflects the path
+ which the .desktop files expect.
+ - setup.py now installs the internal helper scripts like
+ "kernel_crashdump", "apport", or "apportcheckresume" into
+ $prefix/share/apport instead of $prefix/bin.
+ - Update usage of gettext to work around Python bug of gettext() not
+ returning unicodes, but str. Fixes UnicodeDecodeErrors on translated
+ --help output.

+ apport-{retrace,unpack} and ui.py; thanks to Marco Rodrigues!

+
+ * New upstream release:
+ - Drop some remaining distro specific pieces of code from non-backends.
+ - Add hookutils methods for attaching relevant packages, greatly improve
+ attach_alsa() for sound problem debugging.
+ - Move launchpad crash database implementation from ever-breaking
+ python-launchpad-bugs (screenscraping) to launchpadlib (official and
+ stable Launchpad API). (LP: #353879)
+ - Add new field Report.pid which gets set on add_proc_info() and can be
+ used by hooks.
+ - setup.py: Properly clean up all generated files, install missing
+ mimetypes/text-x-apport.svg icon symlink.
+ - Add README file.
+ - Add translations from Launchpad.
+ - Remove preloadlib/*; it's undermaintained, and not really useful any
+ more these days.
+ - Various bug fixes; most visible being the misnamed
+ etc/default/apport.default file (which should just be
+ etc/default/apport).
+ * Merge some bug fixes from trunk:
+ - launchpad.py: Send and read Date: field again, reverting r1128; it is
+ useful after all. (LP: #349139)
+ - report.py, add_proc_info(): Only add ProcAttrCurrent if it is not
+ "unconfined".
+ - ui.py: Detect invalid PIDs (such as for kernel processes) and give a
+ friendly error message. (LP: #360608)
+ - report.py, add_hooks_info(): Always run common hooks, and run source
+ package hooks if we do not have a binary package name. (LP: #350131)
+ - launchpad.py: Consider socket errors when connecting as transient, so
+ that crash-digger doesn't stop completely on them.
+ * Drop debian/apport.README.Debian, superseded by upstream README.
+ * Drop debian/apport.links, done by upstream setup.py now.
+ * debian/rules, debian/apport.preinst: Drop upgrade fix for misnamed default
+ file again, was only necessary for intra-Jaunty upgrades.
+ * debian/control: python-launchpad-bugs → python-launchpadlib dependencies.
+ * debian/local/apport-collect: Drop launchpadlib login code, just use the
+ CrashDatabase implementation from apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py.
+ * Make package backportable to hardy and intrepid:
+ - debian/control: Relax python-central buil-dependency to 0.5.6.
+ - debian/rules: Determine DH_PYCENTRAL value ("include-links" vs.
+ "nomove") based on the installed pycentral version.
+ - debian/rules: Only supply --install-layout=deb when Python version is
+ 2.6.
+ * apport/hookutils.py: Add docstring for attach_hardware, thanks Matt
+ Zimmerman! (Merged from lp:~mdz/apport/hookutils)
+ * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Support older wadllib API
+ where bug.date_created was a string instead of a datetime object.

+ so that apport-collect works on "linux" source bug tasks. These get
+ opportunistically translated into binary packages, but the binary "linux"
+ is built by the source "linux-meta". (LP: #350131)
+ * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer:
+ - Use ports.ubuntu.com for non-{i386,amd64,lpia}.
+ - Set up Jaunty by default.
+ - Fix test for being in local unpackaged apport source tree.
+ - Drop installation of python-launchpad-bugs.
+ - Install bzr branches/packages necessary for launchpad, in a shared

+ simplejson.
+ - Clean up apport-chroot calling for extra packages.

+
+ Implement private crash bug handling, according to
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting:
+
+ * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py:
+ - upload(): If we have an Ubuntu bug, mark it as private and only
+ subscribe 'apport' (the 'Apport retracing service' user).
+ - Add function _subscribe_triaging_team() which subscribes
+ ubuntu-crashes-main for source packages in Ubuntu main or restricted, or
+ ubuntu-crashes-universe for other packages. It does not touch non-Ubuntu
+ bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of
+ the scope of this spec.
+ - update(), _mark_dup_checked(): Call _subscribe_triaging_team().
+ - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not
+ benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real
+ crash database.
+ - get_distro_release(): Make this function work with private bugs, too, by
+ using p-lp-bugs' safe_urlopen().
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Revert simplification change of 0.85:
+ BugList returns a set of strings, not integers; due to non-identity they
+ do not work with the usual set operations.
+ * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add function get_source_component() to
+ query Launchpad for the component of a given distribution and source
+ package. (This will be required for implementing crash-reporting).
+ * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Package list is
+ actually comma separated, only take the first item. This fixes retracing
+ of e. g. #124139.
+ * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Fix package name
+ parsing for non-main components. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124111.
+ * apport/report.py, _read_maps(): Revert ptrace hack when maps cannot be
+ read. maps file is now protected based on process ownership, not ptracing.
+ * apport/crashdb.py, apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py,
+ apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Remove official interface
+ mark_dup_checked(), as it should only be an internally used function. Add
+ report parameter, since we will need it there in the future. Remove
+ explicit call from bin/crash-digger and instead change check_duplicate()
+ to call it on its own.
+ * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Replace dodgy parsing of
+ fields from the description with proper code, so that multi-line fields
+ are read correctly, too.

+ New feature: fakechroot support for apport-retrace
+
+ * bin/apport-retrace:
+ - Simplify program design and throw away the complicated debug symbol
+ sandbox generation, along with the -d and -C options. Instead, directly
+ install the missing packages and ddebs with apt. This makes the tool more
+ suitable for running in chroots and has often been requested anyway.
+ - Add option -u/--unpack-only which causes additionally installed packages
+ to be unpacked without being configured and purged again after
+ retracing. This allows apport-retrace to work under fakechroot and has
+ the nice side effect of speeding up package installation (we do not care
+ about configuration for retracing anyway).
+ * man/apport-retrace.1: Update description for the new behaviour, drop
+ documentation of the -d and -C options, and add documentation of -u.
+ * Add apport/chroot.py: Class for representing and working with chroots;
+ this uses the fakeroot and fakechroot libraries when being called as
+ non-root.
+ * Add bin/apport-chroot: CLI frontend for doing various things with
+ chroots (including fakeroot/fakechroot support from the Chroot class). For
+ now, this implements:
+ - create a chroot (tarball or directory)
+ - dist-upgrade a particular or all chroots
+ - apport-retrace a bug or Apport report file
+ * setup.py: Ship apport-chroot in scripts directory.
+ * Add a new package apport-retrace which ships apport-retrace and
+ apport-chroot and carries all the heavier dependencies (binutils,
+ python-launchpad-bugs, python-apt, etc.). Drop the latter two dependencies
+ from the apport package. This allows us to install the apport-retrace
+ package in fakechroots (not possible with apport itself) and avoid
+ unnecessary dependencies on normal desktop installations.

+
+ * apport/report.py: Add new Report methods check_ignored() and mark_ignore()

+
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Fix return code for restarting the application ('reopen' ->
+ 'restart'). Closes: LP#81422
+ * test-apport: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface mode:
+ - Check core_pattern instead of the obsolete crashdump sysctl to determine
+ whether or not apport is running.
+ - Give apport max. 10 seconds to complete. The current kernel reaps the
+ crashed process as soon as writing the core dump to the pipe is
+ finished, but apport still needs to write the report file.
+ - Do not EXFAIL the test for crashes in nonwriteable cwd any more, since
+ it is now supposed to work (we do not write a core dump to the disk any
+ more).
+ * run-tests, use-local: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface.
+ * apport: Improve logging of exceptions, include environment variables.
+ * apport/report.py test suite: Use gdb to generate a test core dump, do not
+ rely on kill(SIGSEGV) and the kernel to do it (since we now use a pipe in
+ core_pattern).
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Fix return value of get_modified_files() if
+ dpkg .list file is missing.
+ * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Do not produce stray empty lines for

+ * apport/report.py: Fix test_add_gdb_info_script() to not leave behind a
+ stray gzip process which randomly blocks stdin. Closes: LP#78421
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Do not read the dpkg status in the
+ constructor, but lazily initialize it when actually calling a query
+ function. This avoids imposing the dpkg-query overhead for programs that
+ import the apport package without doing package queries (such as any
+ Python program under Ubuntu, due to the Python crash hook).
+ * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title():
+ - Do not crash on an empty StacktraceTop. Closes: LP#81677

+ Some more 'Need for Speed' optimizations:
+
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _check_files_md5(): Also accept a md5sum
+ string in addition to a md5sum file.
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Compare package file's
+ ctime and mtime against the package list file's mtime and only md5sum the
+ files that are newer. This drastically reduces the amount of md5suming
+ (usually to zero) and thus speeds up the information collection.
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Use a single hackish 'dpkg-query --show *'
+ as a portable variant of 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/status' to pre-fill the status
+ cache with all packages instead of calling dpkg -s on every single package
+ we query. This changes the time for figuring out dependencies and their
+ versions from 'unbearable for many packages' to 'barely noticeable'.
+
+ New feature: per-package apport hooks to collect additional information:

+ * apport/python_hook.py: Check for a correct ExecutablePath in

+ * apport/python_hook.py: Use fileutils.likely_packaged() instead of

+ Closes: LP#81244
+ * apport/python_hook.py: If we figure out an ExecutablePath which is not

+ or CLI, and also makes the code automatically testable. Add an extensive
+ testsuite.
+ * run-tests: Add ui.py testsuite.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Port to ui.py's UserInterface (which means moving 1/3 of
+ the code into the new ui_*() methods and throwing away the rest).
+ * Add apport/REThread.py: Enhanced threading.Thread class that can propagate

+ Optimizations:
+
+ * apport/fileutils.py: Split out heuristics for determining whether a file
+ belongs to a package to new function likely_packaged() and add test cases.
+ * bin/apport: Do not use the expensive find_file_package() any more, use
+ likely_packaged() instead. This will create initial reports in some
+ corner cases (like custom non-packaged executables in /usr/bin/), but
+ greatly reduces I/O impact at crash time. We rely on apport-gtk to deal
+ with reports that do not actually belong to a packaged executable.
+ * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Call gdb just once and split the output
+ instead of calling it again for each command. This should significantly
+ speed up the gdb stage especially for large programs/core dumps.
+ * Use cStringIO instead of StringIO in modules.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Code cleanup and refactorization:
+ - Move iteration over crash reports into __main__ to simplify housekeeping
+ in the ApportGTK class and get rid of some functions.
+ - Refactor creation of temporary report file.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Split the text in the progress bar dialog so that we
+ can use it for multiple steps (like uploading data to Malone) while not
+ breaking translations.
+
+ New feature: Bug reporting tool (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugReportingTool)
+
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Split out crash report initialization to new function
+ show_crashes() so that we can use the frontend for other purposes like bug
+ reporting.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Add --file-bug, --package, and --pid options; if given,
+ create a bug report about the given package instead of viewing crash
+ reports.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Generalize some strings to not talk about 'crash'
+ any more, to make them suitable for bug reporting, too.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Support --file-bug without specifying a package or a PID
+ for filing generic distro bugs.
+ * problem_report.py: Add new method write_mime() to encode a problem report
+ in MIME/Multipart RFC 2822 format (i. e. an email with attachments). Short
+ values are aggregated into the first inline text/plain part, large values,
+ binary values, and file references get gzip compressed separate

+ five functions on the stack and no local variables. This reduced 'glimpse'
+ is suitable for inline display in bug reports and automatic processing
+ (dup finders, etc).

+ - Add missing close() call in init_error_log().

+ * apport:
+ - Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the
+ location of a core dump.
+ - If a core dump is given, call gdb on the core dump instead of the
+ crashed process. We cannot attach to the latter if we are called by the
+ kernel (since the crashed process is in uninterruptible kernel sleep).
+ - If no core dump is given, do not attempt to do anything gdb related.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.SS Introduction
+
+.B apport\-chroot
+is a tool to create, update, and manage chroots for using
+.B apport\-retrace
+for several distributions and releases without needing to touch the
+installed system at all. It uses fakeroot and fakechroot, so that the
+entire reprocessing of apport reports which get submitted to the crash
+database can happen on a system where you do not have any root
+privileges or special packages installed.
+
+Chroots can either be kept as a normal directory, or be stored as a
+compressed tarball. In the latter case, the tarballs are temporarily
+unpacked when using them. While unpacking takes a certain amount of
+time, this is well compensated by not having to purge packages after
+installing them for retracing, and being sure not to destroy the
+chroot on failed upgrades, buggy maintainer scripts, etc. This also
+allows you to use a chroot for several tasks in parallel.
+
+.SS Installation
+
+If fakeroot or fakechroot themselves are not installed, you can just
+put the libraries anywhere and set the environment variables
+.B APPORT_LIBFAKEROOT
+and
+.B APPORT_LIBFAKECHROOT
+to the full path of
+.B libfakeroot.so
+and
+.B libfakechroot.so\fR. If the distribution packages are installed,
+they will be found and used automatically.
+
+.SS Creating chroots
+
+The
+.B create
+mode is mostly a wrapper around
+.B debootstrap
+which does the grunt work of actually creating a basic chroot.
+.B apport\-chroot
+then does some additional modifications:
+
+.IP * 4
+Install some additional packages like
+.B apport-retrace
+and
+.B gpgv
+(as well as extra packages specified with
+.B \-p\fR)
+
+.IP * 4
+Optionally set up additional apt sources (with
+.B \-a\fR)
+
+.IP * 4
+Adapt the apt
+.B sources.list
+if you use a file:// mirror
+
+.IP * 4
+Disable daemons with a
+.B policy\-rc.d
+
+.IP * 4
+Clean up the apt package cache
+
+.PP
+The only two required arguments are the release name (passed to
+debootstrap), and the target path (a directory, or the path to a
+.B .tar.gz
+tarball). For the reasons stated above, you usually want to supply
+.B \-\-tar
+and some additional apt sources with
+.B \-a\fR.
+
+.SS Using chroots for retracing
+
+In
+.B retrace
+mode, apport\-chroot selects and prepares a chroot for the crash to
+reprocess and calls
+.B apport\-retrace
+in the chroot with the crash file. Most of the options regarding
+retracing are passed to apport\-retrace, with making sure to properly
+handle file references by symlinking them into the chroot.
+
+In this mode you need to specify a "chroot map" which maps
+distribution names and release versions to chroot paths. Please see
+the documentation of
+.B \-m\fR/\fB\-\-chroot\-map
+below for details.
+
+If you want to enable duplicate checking, you need to specify the path
+to the duplicate database. Please see
+.B \-\-duplicate\-db
+below for details.
+
+.SS Maintaining chroots
+
+The most common maintenance operation is
+.B upgrade
+which takes a chroot path as argument, or a DistroRelease: name if a
+chroot map is specified. If
+.B all
+is specified as chroot name, all chroots in the chroot map are
+upgraded.
+
+To install a set of externally provided .deb packages into the chroot,
+you can use the
+.B installdeb
+mode. This will temporarily copy the debs into the chroot and install
+them with dpkg.
+
+The
+.B login
+mode will provide a shell in the chroot which can be used for general
+maintenance. If you use tarball chroots, you need to decide whether
+you want to keep the changes after logging out (specify
+.B \-\-save\fR) or throw them away (default).
+
+In
+.B \-\-save
+mode, you can still throw away the changes if you log out with a
+nonzero exit code, i. e. by doing
+.B exit 1\fR.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-mirror=\fIURL
+Use an alternate archive mirror (passed to
+.B debootstrap\fR).
+
+This is only relevant in
+.B create
+mode. (Passed to
+.B debootstrap\fR)
+
+.TP
+.B \-p \fIpackage\fR, \fB\-\-extra\-package=\fIpackage
+Install an additional package for the selected operation. May be
+specified multiple times.
+
+This is only relevant in
+.B create
+mode.
+
+.TP
+.B \-a \fIsource\fR, \fB\-\-apt\-source=\fIsource
+Add an extra apt source when creating chroots. May be specified
+multiple times.
+
+This is only relevant in
+.B create
+mode.
+
+.TP
+.B \-t\fR, \fB\-\-tar
+Create a chroot tarball instead of a permanent directory.
+
+This is only relevant in
+.B create
+mode, for other operations you can specify a directory or a tarball.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-save
+When logging in to a chroot tarball, update the tarball afterwards to
+save modifications if the shell exits with status 0.
+
+This is only relevant in
+.B login
+mode if the chroot is a tarball.
+
+.TP
+.B \-m \fIMAP\fR, \fB\-\-chroot\-map=\fIMAP
+
+Path to chroot map. This file maps DistroRelease: values to chroot
+paths (in the syntax of a Python dictionary). This needs to be
+specified when refering to a chroot by distro release name instead of
+a chroot path, or when using
+.B apport\-chroot
+in
+.B retrace
+mode and specifying a crash ID. In the latter case, the
+.B DistroRelease:
+field is first read from the crash database, and the appropriate
+chroot selected from that map. Example:
+
+.IP
+{
+ "Ubuntu 7.04": "chroots/feisty.tar.gz",
+ "Debian 3.1": "chroots/sarge.tar.gz",
+.br
+}
+
+.TP
+.B \-v, \-\-verbose
+Verbose operation. This option is also passed to
+.B apport\-retrace
+to report download/install progress when installing additional
+packages.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-auth=\fIauthfile
+If a bug number is given without any of the options
+.B \-g\fR,
+.B \-s\fR, or
+.B \-o\fR,
+then the retraced stack traces are attached to the bug.
+Since this needs authentication, an authentication file for the crash
+database must be specified. This could e. g. be the standard
+.B cookies.txt
+from Firefox' profile directory if the crash database uses
+cookie based authentication. This option is passed to
+.B apport\-retrace
+(after copying the file into the chroot).
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-duplicate\-db=\fIdbfile
+Specify path to the duplicate check database (in SQLite format). The
+database will be created and initialized if it does not exist. This
+option is passed to
+.B apport\-retrace
+(after linking the file into the chroot).
+
+If not specified,
+.B apport\-retrace
+will not check for duplicates.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-confirm\-attach
+Display retraced stack traces and ask for confirmation before
+uploading them to the bug report. This option is ignored when
+retracing report files. This option is just passed to
+.B apport-retrace\fR.
+
+.TP
+.B \-h, \-\-help
+Print a short online help that documents all options.
+
+.SH AUTHOR
+.B apport
+and the accompanying tools are developed by Martin Pitt
+<martin.pitt@xxxxxxxxxx>.
