This should fix the exception:
apport (0.21) edgy; urgency=low
.
* apport: Keep a partially written report with '000' permissions, and only
chmod it to 0600 when it is fully written. This stops update-notifier from
picking up half-written reports and get activated several times.
Closes: LP#59988
* apport: Add the executable path to the first line of logging.
* apport: Run the complete code under control of the general exception
fallback handler.
* debian/apport.default: Increase maximum core size to 200 MB, to also catch
Firefox and Evolution core dumps.
* apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Before searching the dpkg database
(which is expensive), check if the executable path matches a whitelist of
path prefixes. This replaces the weaker blacklist (/tmp and /home) in
apport itself.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Show a progress dialog while checking for bug patterns and
execute report_search_bug_patterns() in a separate thread, so that the UI
is not potentially blocked for a long time.
* apport: Gracefully abort if we cannot readlink /proc/pid/exe, instead of
falling over with an exception. Closes: LP#59993
* debian/rules: Use 'multiuser' instead of 'defaults' for dh_installinit.
Clean up the unnecessary rc symlinks in postinst and add appropriate
sysv-rc dependency.
