Title:
provide ability for apport to detect modified conffiles reliably when
not running as root
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Apport currently provides a very useful attach_conffiles() function
that "Attaches information about any modified or deleted conffiles"
for a specified package.
However, if this function is called by an apport hook as a non-root
user and if the package being queried contains any conffiles which are
not readable by a non-root user, an IOError exception is generated.
This can be dealt with by catching the exception in the apport hook,
but it has the side-effect of stopping an apport hook detecting
reliably whether any of a packages conffiles have been modified
whereas it should be possible to atleast check those conffiles the
user does have read permission for.
Ideally, get_modified_conffiles() would handle the IOError exception
and mark the unreadable conffiles in some way, but crucially handle
the conffiles the user can read as expected.
