---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:0.220.5) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeApport.py:
    - modify Popen call to set universal_newlines=True (LP: #1357034)
    - log that dependency problems are not reported.
    - all apport versions support --tags now so just add dist-upgrade tag
    - remove redundant ErrorMessage string

Title:
  apport_pkgfailure fails to run in python3

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact:

  apport package failures are not being received during distribution
  upgrades to Trusty from Precise or Saucy.

  Test Case:

  1) start the distribution upgrade to trusty (do-release-upgrade)
  2) stop the upgrade and change to directory /tmp/ubunut-release-upgrader-xyz
  3) start ipython3 or python3

  $ ipython3
  Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
  Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

  IPython 1.2.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
  ?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
  %quickref -> Quick reference.
  help      -> Python's own help system.
  object?   -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.

  In [1]: from DistUpgrade import DistUpgradeApport

  In [2]: DistUpgradeApport.apport_pkgfailure("whoopsie", "it failed")
  WARNING:root:Failed to run apport ('str' does not support the buffer interface)
  Out[2]: False

  With the version of the ubuntu-release-upgrader from trusty-proposed
  apport should not fail to run.

  I've seen the same error message in some distribution upgrade failures
  e.g. bug 1350416.

  2014-07-30 09:15:35,305 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() cgmanager: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  2014-07-30 09:15:36,352 WARNING Failed to run apport ('str' does not support the buffer interface)

  This has to do with the log files DistUpgradeApport is adding to the
  bug report.
