* apport_name_in_valueerror.diff: (LP: #1588479) - Check the ValueError from apport for the package name too, this prevents reporting of dkms crashes about unsupported kernels. -- Brian Murray <br...@ubuntu.com> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 13:46:49 -0700 ** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.

If the kernel is an unsupported one, the hook should exit with a return code of 1. However, in the Ubuntu Error Tracker we can see some crashes with unsupported kernel versions e.g.: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11 DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766 DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's do that.
