Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
The current behavior of apport is to set the default security / privacy
setting of the resulting bug to "Private." I understand that this may
be a direct result of bug #132800.
To illustrate the poblem here's what I bumped into this morning:
1. Experienced problem
2. Apport generated an auto-report
3. I decide to submit the report to help
4. I check to ensure this bug is not a duplicate, it isn't.
5. I send the report
6. I learn the bug is a duplicate, through email
7. I attempt to check the duplicate, but access is restricted
The bug I generated is #196460, the "private" bug is #196335. The issue
here is not the original bug I reported. I know it will be fixed even
if I cannot check on it's status.
These are the issues as I see them:
1. Users will not change the status of their bugs to public, for whatever
reason, they will remain private.
2. Users will come in afterwards and create duplicate bugs, and then be unable
to track the original bug.
3. Those that care about what is reported will use the security/privace
setting appropriate to them, or strip the offending portions, or just not
report.
This issue is relative to #132800
Best regards,
Harvey
