** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Ubuntu crash reports and package installation failures may not include
DpkgTerminalLog.txt if there is a UnicodeDecodeError trying to read the dpkg
log file.
+
+ [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]
