Title:
Apport attempts to file contents of stderr as tag in Launchpad (eg.
'/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' )
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When filing a bug, apport may include illegal or unintention
characters as part of the Launchpad tags field, preventing further
submission of the apport report. The causes the potential report to
be returned to the previous "No, I need to report a new bug" page,
with no obvious indication of what has gone wrong. Launchpad reports:
1. "There is 1 error."
2. Showing that, gives no indication of what might be wrong
3. Drilling down and opening "Extra options" then highlights and shows:
4. ''/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so'' isn't a valid tag name. Tags must
start with a letter or number and be lowercase. The characters "+", "-" and "."
are also allowed after the first character.
5. The extraneous string that apport tried to submit in the middle of the
tag field is:
error: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from
/etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
this likely came from stderr somewhere. Ideally apport should not
attempt to populate the tag field with non-tag literal data, or if it
needs to, to strip it first removing characters such as "':/." that
are not allowed by Launchpad's tag field citeria.
