[Merge] ~seb128/apport:subiquity-desktop-details into apport:main
Sebastien Bacher has proposed merging ~seb128/apport:subiquity-desktop-details into apport:main.
Requested reviews:
Apport upstream developers (apport-hackers)
For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/apport/+git/apport/+merge/440268
The new desktop installer use subiquity as a backend so let's collect also the frontend log if available, record the revision of the snap in use and tag in a way that let us filter the desktop reports

+ - SECURITY UPDATE: When writing a core dump file for a crashed packaged

+ file while "apport" is running to inject data and creating crafted core

+ - Do not report keys starting with '_' to the crash database. This can be
+ used for keeping private keys in .crash files between crash and report
+ time, or to store data between hooks etc., without cluttering reports.
+ - UI: In "run all pending crashes" mode, skip reports that happened during
+ logout in a desktop (specifically, logind) session; they are
+ uninteresting and confusing to see at the next login. (LP: #1033932)
+ They can still be reported manually with running the .crash file
+ directly, but this sufficiently reduces the need to explicitly flag
+ whether the report concerns a logout crash. (LP: #1067646)
+ - Add support for PID namespaces (Linux containers): Crashes originating
+ from a container on a system running a >= 3.12 kernel will be
+ automatically redirected to apport inside the container, or ignored if
+ apport is not installed in the container. Thanks to Stéphane Graber!
+ - Print a warning when trying to retrace a report from a foreign
+ architecture and gdb-multiarch is not installed. (LP: #1239395)
+ - etc/init.d/apport: Don't change core_pattern when running in a
+ container, as this influences the host and other containers, too.

+ (LP: #966562)
+ - apport_python_hook.py: Fix filtering of
+ org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply exceptions. (LP: #958575)
+ - crashdb.py: When publishing the crash database, cut hash file names
+ after quoting, to avoid that the quoting causes them to become too long.
+ (LP: #968070) This also uncovered that known() did not actually find any
+ signature which contained an URL-quoted character, therefore breaking
+ client-side duplicate checking in a lot of cases. Double-quote the file
+ name now, as urlopen() unquotes it.
+ - Add a new crash database option "problem_types" and a CrashDatabase
+ method "accepts(report)". This can be used to stop uploading particular
+ problem report types to that database. E. g. a distribution might decide
+ to not get "Crash" reports any more after release. Document the new
+ option in doc/crashdb-conf.txt.
+ - ui.py: Do not upload a report if the crash database does not accept the
+ report's type. This behaviour is not really correct, but necessary as
+ long as we only support a single crashdb and have whoopsie hardcoded.
+ Once we have multiple crash dbs, we need to not even present the data if
+ none of the DBs wants the report. See LP #957177 for details.
+ (LP: #968121)
+ - ui.py: Do not short-circuit information collection if report already has
+ a "DistroRelease" field, as the GUIs add that in some cases. Check for
+ "Dependencies" instead. This fixes information collection for kernel
+ problems (which now has a full GTK GUI test case). (LP: #968488)
+ * Merge from trunk:
+ - test_ui_gtk.py: Disable package hooks for the tests, as they might ask
+ for sudo passwords and other interactive bits, and thus make the tests
+ hang.

+ bug A by address signatures. Empirical evidence shows that this is due
+ to the unavoidable jitter in stack traces (A and S not being identified
+ as duplicates as their signatures differ slightly) and not a logic
+ error. So instead of erroring out, duplicate all three bugs and keep the
+ lowest number as the master ID. (LP: #943117)

+ (LP: #405418)

+ when run in the source tree root, and against the system
+ libraries/programs when run from anywhere else.
+ - test/run: Consider command line arguments as test names and only run
+ those when given. Also support just running a single test.
+ - testsuite: Force the skipping of online tests when $SKIP_ONLINE_TESTS is
+ set.
+ - hookutils.py, xsession_errors(): Add a reasonable default pattern which
+ matches glib-style warnings, errors, criticals etc. and X window errors.
+ In data/general-hooks/generic.py, call it with that default instead of
+ the rather incomplete custom pattern. (LP: #932660)
+ - packaging.py: Add get_package_origin() method, and implement it for

+ "Dependencies" fields for any package which is not native to the
+ distribution. If any such package is present, tag the report with
+ "third-party-packages" in data/general-hooks/generic.py. (LP: #927912)
+ - apport/packaging.py: Add get_uninstalled_package() method as a helper
+ method for the test suite. Use it instead of a hardcoded Debian/Ubuntu
+ specific name in test/test_hooks.py.
+ - test/test_ui_{gtk,kde}.py: Add test cases for complete UI workflow runs
+ for reporting a bug against an installed/uninstalled package, and
+ reporting a crash with and without showing details. This reproduces the

+
+ * New upstream release: First beta release of 2.0 which introduces
+ client-side duplicate checking.
+ - report.py: Break out new method stacktrace_top_function() from
+ standard_title(), so that other parts of the code can use this as well.
+ - launchpad.net: When sending retraced results back to the bug report,
+ update the topmost function in the bug title. (LP: #869970)
+ - report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add a new field "StacktraceAddressSignature"
+ which is a heuristic signature for signal crashes. This should be used
+ if crash_signature() fails, i. e. the Stacktrace field does not have
+ enough symbols. This can be used to check for duplicates on the client
+ side, provided that the crash database server supports querying for
+ these. Do not expose this field when uploading to crash databases
+ though, as it can be recomputed from the already existing information
+ (ProcMaps and Stacktrace) and thus would just clutter the reports.
+ - crashdb.py: Add a table "version" with the database format version. Add
+ automatic upgrading to the most current format.
+ - crashdb.py: Put address signatures from reports checked with
+ check_duplicate() into the duplicate database, so that implementations
+ of known() can check for these.
+ - dupdb-admin: Add "publish" dupdb-admin command which exports the
+ duplicate database into a set of text files suitable for WWW publishing.
+ - crashdb.py: Add new method "known(report)" which can be implemented to
+ check if the crash db already knows about the crash signature. If so,
+ the report will not be uploaded, and instead the user will be directed
+ to the existing report URL (if available), similar to bug patterns. The
+ default implementation checks this format, if the crash database is
+ initialized with a "dupdb_url" option pointing to the exported database.
+ - launchpad.py: Override known() to check if the master bug is actually
+ accessible by the reporter, and is not tagged with "apport-failed-retrace"
+ or "apport-request-retrace"; otherwise file it anyway.
+ - crash-digger: Add --publish-db option to conveniently integrate
+ duplicate DB publication (similar to dupdb-admin publish) into retracer
+ setups.
+ - launchpad.py: Attach updated stack traces from a duplicate to the master
+ bug if it failed retracing previously or has an "apport-request-retrace"
+ tag. (LP: #869982)
+ - apport-kde, apport-gtk: Support the "Annotation" field for custom dialog
+ titles for "Crash" and "Package" problem types as well, not just for
+ "Kernel". (LP: #664378)
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix another test case failure when ddeb
+ repository is not enabled.
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix handling of explicit cache directory
+ name when it is a relative path.
+ - launchpad.py: Only query for bugs after 2011-08-01, to avoid timeouts.
+ - ui.py: Also anonymize standard bug title. (LP: #893863)
+ - launchpad.py: Current Launchpad cannot have private bugs which affect
+ multiple projects. Fix test suite accordingly.
+ * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix crash if "apport" package is not
+ installed, which might happen on local installs or running the test suite.
+ * etc/default/apport: Re-enable Apport by default; we want reports early in
+ Precise, and we also do not have unstable GNOME versions this time which
+ have known problems. We also have client-side duplicate detection now
+ which should mitigate the noise.
+ * Drop debian/pyversions, debian/pycompat: Obsolete with dh_python2.

+ * New upstream release:
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Port to current python-apt API.
+ - hookutils.py: Fix path_to_key() to also work with unicode arguments.
+ - test/crash: Exit successfully if apport is not enabled in the system.
+ This allows packages to run the test suite during build.
+ - report.py, add_proc_info(): Correctly handle "python -m <modulename>"
+ programs as being interpreted and determine the appropriate module path.
+ - Fix some import statements to also work for the system-installed test
+ suite.
+ - test/run: Fix testing data/general-hooks/parse_segv.py when called in

+ - README: Update command for one-time enablement.
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix interleaving usage of
+ install_packages() with other operations such as get_version(), by
+ resetting the apt status after building and using the sandbox.
+ - report.py test suite: Remove requirement that $USER is set, which makes
+ it easier to run this from package build environments.
+ - apport/ui.py, test/crash: Use "yes" as test process instead of "cat".
+ The former is less likely to run already, and does not depend on having
+ a stdin, so it runs better in test environments like autopkgtest.
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix tests if system does not have a
+ dbgsym apt source.
+ - Ignore a crash if gnome-session is running and says that the session is
+ being shut down. These often die because X.org or other services are
+ going away, are usually harmless, and just cause a lot of clutter in bug
+ trackers. (LP: #460932)
+ - test/crash: Rewrite using Python's unittest, to be in line with other
+ tests, and be easier to maintain and extend.

+ that the test suite can succeed.
+ * debian/control: Move python-gobject and gir1.2-glib-2.0 dependencies from
+ apport-gtk to apport, as our generic.py hook needs it. Also add them to

+ - apport-retrace: Pass correct executable path to gdb in --gdb with
+ --sandbox mode.
+ - apport-retrace: Do not leave behind temporary directories on errors.
+ - apport-retrace: Drop assertion failure for existance of "Stacktrace".
+ This isn't present in the case of gdb crashing, and there is not much we

+ - apport/report.py: Unwind XError() from stack traces for the
+ "StacktraceTop" field, as they take a significant part of the trace.
+ This causes bugs to be duplicated which really have different causes.
+ * New upstream release 1.24:
+ - apport-retrace: Add --timestamp option to prepend a timestamp to log
+ messages. This is useful for batch operations.
+ - crash-digger: Call apport-retrace with --timestamps, to get consistent
+ timestamps in log output.
+ - hookutils.py: Add two new functions attach_gsettings_package() and

+ - hookutils.py: Add new function in_session_of_problem() which returns

+ This can be used to determine if e. g. ~/.xsession-errors is relevant and
+ should be attached.
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Also copy

+ - hookutils.py: Replace attach_gconf() with a no-op stub. It used static

+ gconf is rather obsolete these days.
+ - ui.py, open_url(): Greatly simply and robustify by just using xdg-open.
+ This already does the right thing wrt. reading the default browser from

+ - data/general-hooks/generic.py: Only attach ~/.xsession_errors if the bug

+ - Ignore crashes for programs which got updated in between the crash and

+ - Special-case crashes of 'twistd': Try to determine the client program and
+ assign the report to that, or fail with an UnreportableReason.
+ (LP: #755025)
+ - apport-gtk: In bug update mode, make details dialog resizable and fix

+ in a temporary directory. This makes it possible to use it in a running
+ system without actually touching installed packages, does not need any

+ fakechroot and fakeroot. This is a lot easier to maintain and use, and a
+ lot faster, too. As a consequence, drop the chroot module, and update
+ crash-digger accordingly. See "man apport-retrace" for the new usage.
+ It is now also easier to port to other packaging backends, as a lot of
+ the common logic moved out of the packaging API;

+ symptom, package, executable name, or PID.

+ 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

+ "kernel_crashdump", "apport", or "apportcheckresume" into

+ Implement private crash bug handling, according to

+
+ * 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().

+ * 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

+ 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.

+ 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/report.py: Add method add_hooks_info() which executes a function
+ add_info(report) from /usr/share/apport/<package>.py. Also add
+ appropriate test cases. This provides per-package hooks for apport.
+ * apport/ui.py: Call add_hooks_info() in the information collection thread.

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

+ * apport/python_hook.py: Use fileutils.likely_packaged() instead of
+ checking for /tmp and home, so that we ignore stuff in /usr/local, too.
+ Closes: LP#81244
+ * apport/python_hook.py: If we figure out an ExecutablePath which is not
+ actually an executable, do not create a report. This particularly affects
+ interactive python sessions where sys.argv[0] is empty and thus
+ ExecutablePath ends up being the current directory. Add test cases.

+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Do not show any dialogs any more when filing a bug.
+ * Add apport/MultipartPostHandler.py: This module provides an urllib2 opener

+ implementations. This both makes it easy to write more frontends like Qt
+ 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

+ there is a large number of packages installed. Closes: LP#64839
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Use pgrep with -u instead of pidof for testing whether the
+ crashed process is already running again, so that we do not match

+ * 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.

+ * 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

+
+ The "Need for speed" release -- rrrroarrr!
+
+ * apport: Remove _copy_shrink_corefile(): While this has an enormous impact
+ on the size of an uncompressed core dump, it only causes a negligible size
+ reduction of the bzip2'ed core, but it needs a lot of I/O resources for
+ large core dumps.
+ * problem_report.py:
+ - Use zlib instead of bzip2 for compressing the binary data (in
+ particular, core dumps). This results in slightly bigger files, but speeds
+ up compression a lot (30 seconds vs. ~2:45 minutes for a Firefox core dump
+ on my slow iBook). Closes: LP#61538
+ - ProblemReport.read(): Support both bzip2 and zlib compression to be able
+ to read existing reports, too.
+ - Add/Adapt test cases.
+ * Move InformationCollector._get_gdb() from apport to apport_utils.py
+ report_add_gdb_info(), and add a test case for it.
+ * apport_utils.py, report_add_package_info(): Support calling without a
+ package name, then it will be figured out from ExecutableName. Extend test
+ case accordingly.
+ * test-apport: Do not require apport reports to contain gdb, packaging, and
+ OS information, since we are going to move them out of apport.
+ * apport: Do not collect static information. It requires a lot of CPU and
+ I/O resources and slows down the machine a lot, and it can be added to
+ the report later in the frontend. This also gets rid of the entire
+ InformationCollector class, since everything has been moved to
+ apport_utils.py now. Closes: LP#62542
+ * apport: Do not intercept KeyboardInterrupt as unhandled exception (only
+ useful for command line debugging, though).
+ * problem_report.py: Add test case for appending new data to an existing
+ report, fix write() function to not rely on an existing ProblemType key.
+ * problem_report.py: Add new method ProblemReport.add_to_existing() to
+ update an already existing problem report with new data. Add test case.
+ * apport_utils.py, mark_report_seen(): Use os.utime() instead of
+ open()/read() and a timeout for simpler and faster operation.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk:
+ - Collect gdb/packaging/operating system information when the user chooses
+ to file a bug and update the apport report.
+ - Change the 'Downloading bug patterns...' progress dialog to 'Collecting
+ information about the crash...'.
+ * debian/control: Bumped library dependencies of apport-gtk, added
+ update-notifer dependency.

+ * apport-unpack: Support '-' as report argument to read from stdin.
+ * apport_utils.py, report_add_proc_info():
+ - Apply some heuristics to determine whether the crashed process is an
+ interpreted script (check if the Name in /proc/pid/status matches
+ the second /proc/pid/cmdline part, and if that command line argument is
+ an existing executable file). In the case of an interpreted script, set
+ ExecutablePath to the script and InterpreterPath to the actually crashed

+ - Do not assume the presence of the ExecutablePath key in reports, but
+ gracefully fall back to Package.
+ - If the report specifies an explicit DesktopFile, use that instead of
+ trying to figure it out.
+ - Only created reduced report and show the radio buttons if there are
+ actually removed fields.
+ - Change tooltip of 'reduced report' radio button to be more generic (do
+ not refer to the memory dump, but to 'large items', since this is what
+ apport-gtk currently does).
+ - Support new field 'BugDisplayMode: file | list (default)'. In 'file'
+ mode, display the /+filebug page instead of /+bugs and change

+ - Use the ProcCmdline attibute to restart an application; correctly
+ parsing of all the desktop file is just not possible at this point.

+ * apport:
+ - Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the
