apport recommends gdb

Uploaded to utopic

Uploaded to trusty-proposed, awaiting approval from ubuntu-sru

That seems fine to me. The main thing we need from gdb on the client side is calculation of a stack trace address signature, we don't need the capabilities of the full gdb (like decoding Python objects) for that.

I think a good regression test is something like this:

 - Ensure that you only have gdb-minimal installed
 - Trigger a crash, with e. g. sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
 - wait for the apport window to pop up
 - look at the details
 - Ensure you see a StacktraceAddressSignature, which should look something like:

    StacktraceAddressSignature: /bin/dash:11:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so+373e7:/bin/dash+cc67:[...]

Hello Jonathan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apport into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

apport (2.14.5-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * New upstream bug fix release. Changes since last snapshot:
    - apt/dpkg get_file_package(): If checking for uninstalled packages, don't
      use package information from the host system, but always look it up in
      the correct indexes. Otherwise this returns wrong results when files
      move to a different package between releases. Thanks Brian Murray!
      (LP: #1336062)
    - apt/dpkg install_packages(): Disable fetching apt translation indexes,
      to save some bandwidth.
    - whoopsie-upload-all: Ignore crash reports with incomplete core dumps
      instead of crashing on them. Thanks Brian Murray. (LP: #1329520)
    - etc/default/apport: Fix comment to use "service" instead of calling the
      init.d script directly.
    - whoopsie-upload-all: Collect hooks information to gather ApportVersion,
      NonfreeKernelModules, and SystemImageInfo. Do this before collecting
      package data to minimize hook run time. (LP: #1349579)
    - Adjust report.test_get_logind_session test to work with systemd >= 205.
    - Fix report.test_check_interpreted_twistd test to skip instead of fail if
      twisted is not installed.

  * Drop automatix.py general hook. Automatix is long gone.
  * etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport: Drop long obsolete npviewer/npplayer
    entries.
  * Drop unnecessary python-gi build dependency.
  * Drop python-twisted-core build dependency. It's just used for one test,
    and will still run in autopkgtest. (Avoids current twisted
    uninstallability in main)
