Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446537 Title: apport hook fails in add_info with TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------ Some apport package hooks are not able to check the contents of log files for errors, e.g. looking for hard disk errors in ubiquity install logs, so we may be getting crash reports that we don't want. Test Case --------- ⟫ ubuntu-bug ubiquity dpkg-query: aucun paquet ne correspond à ubiquity ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py crashed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 197, in _run_hook symb['add_info'](report, ui) File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py", line 61, in add_info if 'Buffer I/O error on device' in syslog: TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface With the version of the package in the archive you'll see the above Traceback, with the version of proposed you will not. Regression Potential -------------------- The change uses a try, except clause to do the decoding of the log file so there should be little chance of a regression.
