Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

There is a printing bug info script in the Ubuntu wiki, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrintingBugInfoScript, that collects a lot of information that is useful for diagnosing printing problems. It would be useful if it was included in hookutils.py as a convenience function so that multiple packages can access it.

Attached you'll find a patch that does just that.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 0.138

---------------
apport (0.138) jaunty; urgency=low

  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Consider an useful stack trace
    sufficient for automatically removing the core dump, it doesn't
    need to be perfect. This is in accordance with not setting the
    apport-failed-retrace tag for useful, but non-perfect retraces any
    more.
  * apport/hookutils.py, backends/packaging_rpm.py: Convert usage of
    md5 module (which is deprecated in 2.6) to hashlib.
  * Replace all instances of using an exception's .message attribute
    with str(exception), since message is deprecated in Python 2.6.
  * apport/hookutils.py: Add attach_printing(). Thanks to Brian Murray
    for the initial patch! (LP: #333582)
