[Bug 1067542] Re: possible for some do-release-upgrade crashes to be unreportable

[Martin Pitt]

The easiest way to work around the distro check is to add this to the
package hook:

  self['CrashDB'] = 'ubuntu'

On IRC you also asked about "apport-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader". As
this is not a (binary) package name, this won't work. If this is
desired, apport-symptoms should get a new symptom with that name (and
perhaps a few aliases like "release-upgrade" and "upgrade" while we are
at it) which simply redirects the report to "ubuntu-release-upgrader-
core"; see /usr/share/doc/apport/symptoms.txt .

Title:
  possible for some do-release-upgrade crashes to be unreportable

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Depending on when ubuntu-release-upgrader crashes it is possible for
  the bug to be unreportable because apport determines that the package
  is not an official package.  This can happen if sources have been
  updated to the next release, e.g. quantal, and then ubuntu-release-
  upgrader crashes.  I saw this in http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275147/.
  There we can see:

  Package: update-manager-core 1:0.156.14.11
  UnreportableReason: This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again.

  I believe setting the environmental variable
  APPORT_DISABLE_DISTRO_CHECK would allow the bug to be reported.
  However, its odd that this is the first time this has been encountered
  / reported afaik.
