Title:
apport-autoreport.service fails if whoopsie isn't running
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Status in apport source package in Cosmic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
------
If automatic crash reporting is enabled and apport-autoreport.service starts
before whoopsie on boot then crash reports that happened during shutdown or
start up will not be automatically uploaded to the error tracker.
Test Case
---------
1) install apport-noui
2) sudo service apport stop
3) modify /usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all to exit(1) thereby recreating
the situation where whoopsie isn't running. I did this by copying lines 159,160
to 161,162 and unindenting them. N.B. this isn't necessary if you are on a
system where whoopsie is starting after apport.
4) touch /var/crash/my.crash
5) reboot
5) run 'systemctl status apport-autoreport.service' and observe it failed
because whoopsie isn't running
When testing the proposed version of apport you'll want to revert the
changes you made to whoopsie-upload-all. With the version of apport
from -proposed you should no longer see the failure message for the
apport-autoreport.service. The best test case is just having an
affected system test the package from -proposed though.
Regression Potential
--------------------
We are clearly fixing something that was a mistake in the original service so
there is little chance for regression.
