[Test Case] Because the fix is simple and its complicated to have a dpkg log file with unicode in it we'll just test that truncating of a dpkg log file still works. 1) Install 2vcard (so we have a recent dpkg log entry) 2) Run update-manager 3) Kill it with signal 11 e.g. kill -11 $PID of update-manager 4) Run ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_usr_bin_update-manager.1000.crash 5) Observe DpkgTerminalLog.txt only contains a log entry regarding the installation of 2vcard and matches the content in /var/log/apt/term.log. [Regression Potential] Its possible that the code to replace the DpkgTerminalLog contents of the report is wrong but the test case above ensures that it isn't. [Original Description] Hi, here is a python exception I got while reporting a bug: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 198, in _run_hook symb['add_info'](report, ui) File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py", line 89, in add_info check_attachment_for_errors(report, attachment) File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py", line 208, in check_attachment_for_errors trim_dpkg_log(report) File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py", line 508, in trim_dpkg_log report['DpkgTerminalLog'] = '\n'.join([str(line.decode('utf-8')) for line in lines]) File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py", line 508, in <listcomp> report['DpkgTerminalLog'] = '\n'.join([str(line.decode('utf-8')) for line in lines]) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 3070: invalid continuation byte It can also be seen here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/367002573/HookError_ubuntu.txt ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: apport 2.20.9-0ubuntu6 Uname: Linux 4.16.3-041603-generic x86_64 ApportLog: ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: MATE Date: Mon Apr 23 20:13:24 2018 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bashSourcePackage: apport UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1766337/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
