Bug Description

When filing a new regression bug against natty using ubuntu-bug linux, I'm presented with a list of four regression tags to select.

The first two tags are both 'regression-release'. The description of the second tag matched the 'regression-development' tag from the maverick apport hook so I selected that. (The other two available options being regression-update and regression-proposed).

On filing the bug, I checked the tag. It was tagged 'regression-update'. ???

I will attach /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_linux.py as is present on my system.

Note the double entries for regression-release. I don't know if this was intentional, but if so, it's confusing and probably should be reworded.

        regression = ui.choice("How would you describe the regression?",
            ["regression-release - A regression in a new stable release.",
             "regression-release - A bug discovered in the development release t
hat was not present in the stable release.",
             "regression-update - A regression introduced by an updated package
in the stable release.",
             "regression-proposed - A regression introduced by a package in -pro
posed .",
             "I don't know."], False)

Changed in linux (Ubuntu Natty):
milestone:	none → natty-alpha-2

The linux package hook is actually part of apport. I removed 'regression-potential' from the package hook so will look at improving the verbage for it. I'll also look at why regression-update was chosen.

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Prevent regression-release bugs from
    being tagged regression-updates. (LP: #692344). Additionally, reorder the
    regression tags in likelyhood of greatest usage and clarify that
    'regression-release' applies to the dev release and a stable release but
    not an updated package in the stable release.
