[Bug 1070542] Re: not possible to use ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core on precise

[Adam Conrad]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport-symptoms into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport-
symptoms/0.16.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: apport-symptoms (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
  not possible to use ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core on precise

Status in “apport-symptoms” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “apport-symptoms” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Precise:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  == Impact ==

  12.04 LTS users are unable to report a bug about the distribution
  upgrade process using the instructions provided by the distribution
  upgrade tarball.

  == Test Case ==

  On a 12.04 LTS system:
  1) run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'
  2) observe error message titled 'Invalid problem report' that says 'Package ubuntu-release-upgrader-core does not exist'
  Install apport-symptoms from -proposed
  1) run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'
  2) click yes when asked if this is a distribution upgrade
  3) click cancel when asked about sending error report

  == Details ==
  ubuntu-release-upgrader has multiple error messages that say:

                  details += _("If none of this applies, then please report this bug using "
                               "the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.")

  This works great if you have ubuntu-release-upgrader-core installed
  but you won't if you are upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 as ubuntu-
  release-upgrader-core is a new package in 12.10.  Instead you'll
  receive an error message that ubuntu-release-upgrader-core does not
  exist.
