[Bug 1471903] Re: -updates, -security missing from apt lists

[Brian Murray]

It helps because we will never ask for core files from crashes from
packages for which the package origin is unknown. If the apt list is
outdated then the package field in the report will look like this:

Package: coreutils 8.23-3ubuntu1 [origin: unknown]

The code in daisy that asks for core files includes the following:

def retraceable_package(package):
    if not "[origin: " in package:
        return True
    elif "[origin: Ubuntu RTM]" in package:
        return True
    elif "[origin: LP-PPA-ci-train-ppa-service" in package:
        return True
    else:
        return False

This helps prevent us for asking for core files (that would fail to
retrace) for every random application that people install. However, at
the same time if people are running a version of apport that had an SRU
in vivid and that makes into to the phone and it crashes on armhf, then
we will never receive core files for that crash. I think that's a pretty
good reason to have the lists updated.

Title:
  -updates, -security missing from apt lists

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As indicated by Robie in bug 1467830 vivid-updates is missing from
  /var/lib/apt/lists on the phablet images for Ubuntu 15.04. This
  prevents one from using apport-cli to report bugs about packages that
  are from the -updates pocket. This is due to the fact that apport will
  not allow one to report bugs about packages which it cannot determine
  are from the official archive or a native origin PPA.
