Trusty uses the old method of creating a duplicate signature so does not require this fix.
104 # build a duplicate signature tag for package reports 105 if report.get('ProblemType') == 'Package' and 'ErrorMessage' in report and 'Package' in report: 106 (package, version) = report['Package'].split(None, 1) 107 dupe_sig = 'package:%s:%s:%s' % (package, version, report['ErrorMessage']) 108 report['DuplicateSignature'] = dupe_sig ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692127 Title: duplicate signature for Package problems can be too short Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in apport source package in Yakkety: Triaged Status in apport source package in Zesty: Triaged Status in apport source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: Steve brought up bug 1691983 and how it's duplicate signature is missing information. It contains: package:shim-signed:1.27~16.04.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1 Installing for x86_64-efi platform. Installation finished. No error reported. Running in non-interactive mode, doing nothing. dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 But is missing: Setting up shim-signed (1.27~16.04.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1) ... locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Passthrough debconf: (Cannot connect to /tmp/aptdaemon-7jrqb_du/debconf.socket: Connection refused at (eval 18) line 3.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Noninteractive This is because of the following code in data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: 145 PKG_MSGS = ('Authenticating', 'De-configuring', 'Examining', 146 'Installing ', 'Preparing', 'Processing triggers', 'Purging', 147 'Removing', 'Replaced', 'Replacing', 'Setting up', 148 'Unpacking', 'Would remove') 149 for line in termlog.split('\n'): 150 if line.startswith(PKG_MSGS): 151 dupe_sig = '%s\n' % line 152 continue The shim-signed package prints a line starts with "Installing " and that matches PKG_MSGS so we reset the dupe_sig because that's a message we'd expect from a package manager.
