Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

There have been quite a few apport-crash bug reports without a package assigned to them. I just cleaned most of them up though so have nothing to use as an example. However, I believe that the reporter is removing the package name for some reason when the bug is being filed. The right package could get assigned if the retracer were to check if the bug has a package assigned and if not check the bug description for the package name and then assign it.

apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update() should use p-lp-bugs (the "Bug" object) to set the package field if report['SourcePackage'] exists. Should really just be an one-liner, sorry for dragging this so long. After the beta release I'll have some more time to work on bug fixes.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 0.117

---------------
apport (0.117) intrepid; urgency=low

  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, is_distro_package(): Fix crash if
    apt.Cache()[pkg].origins is None. (LP: #279353)
  * bin/apport: Log that we are ignoring SIGABRT, since it is a common cause
    of confusion.
  * test-apport, create_test_process(): Fix race condition: wait until the
    child process has fully execve()ed, to avoid coredumping it while it is
    still running as test-apport process.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Set source package of a bug if
    the reporter removed it and the task is against 'Ubuntu'. (LP: #269045)
