Unfortunately the fix you added by inserting an empty space string ' '
for the UserGroups field does not resolve the bug at all. This is
because when reading the report in (problem_report.py) all fields which
are empty get ignored, and a field which is all whitespace counts as
empty. Prior to the fix the report already contained the UserGroups
field, it just didn't have an empty space after it. So nothing really
changed.
This is the new stacktrace when running apport-unpack with a crash
report generated with the fixed report.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apport-unpack", line 77, in <module>
pr.extract_keys(f, bin_keys, dir)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 269, in
extract_keys
raise ValueError('%s has no binary content' %
ValueError: ['UserGroups'] has no binary content
The UserGroups field can't be empty. For example if I add a group in the
UserGroups field, apport-unpack runs without errors. This is my current
fix to not deal with the constant stacktrace from apport-unpack.
sed -i -E 's/(UserGroups:)/\1 nogroup/' /var/crash/_crashfile
