Test Case --------- ⟫ ubuntu-bug ubiquity dpkg-query: aucun paquet ne correspond à ubiquity ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py crashed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 197, in _run_hook symb['add_info'](report, ui) File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py", line 61, in add_info if 'Buffer I/O error on device' in syslog: TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface With the version of the package in the archive you'll see the above Traceback, with the version of proposed you will not. Regression Potential -------------------- The change uses a try, except clause to do the decoding of the log file so there should be little chance of a regression.
