[Bug 1429967] Re: dkms apport package hook doesn't write package version to apport Package key

 

dkms (2.2.0.3-2ubuntu2) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Add apport_package_key_with_version.patch: Include the package version in
    the Package data as apport does this with any crash file it creates and
    the Error Tracker expects to find the version there.

** Description changed:

+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ Check existing problems in the error tracker to see if version numbers start appearing on the bucket page.
+ 
+ 
  In the apport package hook we can see the following:
  
-    report['Package'] = package
+    report['Package'] = package
  
  Apport itself would have written this as "package version" and the Error
  Tracker is written to parse the Package key into package and version.
  However, this fails with dkms packages e.g.:
  
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/458a601a-c528-11e4-8b55-fa163e4ccdf2
  
  This then leads to problem buckets with no version information which
  naturally isn't useful.
