I figured out the problem. How to reproduce: I've modified apport/ui.py to add coreutils to my crash report as an obsolete package.
$ bash -c 'kill -SEGV $$' $ /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk -c /var/crash/obsolete_crash.crash $ vim /var/crash/_bin_bash.1000.crash Look at the end of file for this: UnreportableReason: You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem still occurs: coreutils So, now if you run: $ APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES=1 /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk -c /var/crash/_bin_bash.1000.crash It always shows the 'Problem bash' window. So this variable should be also verified when sending the report and not only when regenerating it. -- APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
