[Bug 1899100] Re: whoopsie assert failure: double free or corruption (fasttop)

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Alex, or anyone else affected,

Accepted whoopsie into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/0.2.72.1
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 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: whoopsie (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  whoopsie is crashing somewhat regularly. There are a couple of crashes in the Error Tracker which look similar:

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/5c1f68854a0f3bd5e263f1cd35e4dd944c9e90bd
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/5d7e641dc46229c08389420fdd74a7473d2dec98

  As of yet (2020-11-22) neither crash is happening with whoopsie
  version 0.2.73.

  [Test Case]
  We don't have a manual test case for this crash report but given the number of crashes in the Error Tracker and the number of users of whoopsie the absence of the same crash occurring with the new version of whoopsie should be enough to consider this verified.

  [Regression Potential]
  Whoopsie will no longer upload crash reports with duplicate keys but this was not something it should have been doing in the first place. That being said we should also test whoopsie with a sample of crashes (apport-test-crashes) and ensure they are received by the staging version of the Ubuntu Error Tracker.

  Original Description
  --------------------
  Apport popped up saying whoopsie had crashed (I assume during a previous crash report upload?)
