[Bug 1870060] Re: systemd ProtectSystem/mount namespace makes apport fail (impact most of our default system services)

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Daniel, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.11-0ubuntu50.2 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 on 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 add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  apport is not creating crash files for multiple system services that use ProtectSystem since Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

  [Test Case]
  On an Ubuntu desktop system perform the following step
  1) sudo pkill -11 upowerd

  With the current version of apport there will not be a crash file for
  upowerd in /var/crash/. With the version of apport in -proposed there
  will be a crash file for upowerd in /var/crash/.

  [Regression Potential]
  In the event that the changes to /usr/share/apport/apport are bad then apport itself would crash thereby preventing us from getting any crash reports. So in addition to killing upowerd we should also test a regular application like xeyes.

  [Original Description]
  bluetoothd never leaves dumps/crash files when it crashes

  And it seems this is true for everyone. Only supplementary binaries' crash reports are shown:
