It helps because we will never ask for core files from crashes from
packages for which the package origin is unknown. If the apt list is
outdated then the package field in the report will look like this:
Package: coreutils 8.23-3ubuntu1 [origin: unknown]
The code in daisy that asks for core files includes the following:
def retraceable_package(package):
if not "[origin: " in package:
return True
elif "[origin: Ubuntu RTM]" in package:
return True
elif "[origin: LP-PPA-ci-train-ppa-service" in package:
return True
else:
return False
This helps prevent us for asking for core files (that would fail to
retrace) for every random application that people install. However, at
the same time if people are running a version of apport that had an SRU
in vivid and that makes into to the phone and it crashes on armhf, then
we will never receive core files for that crash. I think that's a pretty
good reason to have the lists updated.
