Title: apport will create .upload files for incomplete or corrupt crash reports Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Precise: In Progress Status in apport source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in apport source package in Vivid: In Progress Status in apport source package in Wily: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU information appears in comment #3. apport will set an UnreportableReason in the following situations for crash reports where information collection fails or for packages that do not exist. From apport/ui.py: 1036 try: 1037 icthread.exc_raise() 1038 except (IOError, EOFError, zlib.error) as e: 1039 # can happen with broken core dumps 1040 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = '%s\n\n%s' % ( 1041 _('This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed.'), 1042 repr(e)) 1043 except ValueError: # package does not exist 1044 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('The report belongs to a package that is not installed.') 1045 except Exception as e: 1046 apport.error(repr(e)) 1047 self.report['UnreportableReason'] = _('An error occurred while attempting to ' 1048 'process this problem report:') + '\n\n' + str(e) Because an UnreportableReason exists in the report, apport will stop collecting information. Subsequently, there is "_MarkForUpload" is left as True (the default) so apport calls mark_report_upload which creates a .upload file such that the report which is incomplete or corrupt is then uploaded to the Error Tracker. In these cases the "_MarkForUpload" key should be set to "False" thereby preventing uploads to the Error Tracker.
