duplicate signature for Package problems can be too short

We could continue if the line equals "Installing for x86_64-efi platform." but that would only work for shim-signed and seems fragile.

When each of these messages are output by dpkg, they also match the pattern '\.\.\.[[:space:]]*$'. So perhaps that should be included as part of the filter?

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.5-0ubuntu4

---------------
apport (2.20.5-0ubuntu4) artful; urgency=medium

  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Modify how a duplicate signature is created
    for package installation failures. (LP: #1692127)

 -- Brian Murray <email address hidden> Mon, 22 May 2017 16:37:50 -0700

This should be SRU'ed to stable releases but let's make sure it is working properly first.

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

The upload of apport which fixed this bug did not cause but revealed an autopkgtest failure with test_signal_crashes.py in apport. The tests test_core_dump_packaged and test_core_dump_unpackaged are failing because the core file being produced is greater than the ulimit set for core files. This limit is arbitrary and I've bumped it from 1 million to 10 million bytes to allow the test pass.

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!
