Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

Since commit 1195, etc/default/apport should have had the "maxsize" stanza removed. This is now misleading. :)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream release:
    - Ensure that symptom scripts define a run() function, and don't show them
      if not.
    - Do not show symptom scripts which start with an underscore. These can be
      used for private libraries for the actual symptom scripts.
    - Update bash completion. Thanks Philip Muškovac.
    - etc/default/apport: Remove obsolete "maxsize" setting. (LP: #719564)
    - Remove explicit handling of KDE *.ui files in setup.py, as
      python-distutils-extra 2.24 fixes this. Bump version check.
    - hookutils.py: Add attach_root_command_outputs() to run several commands
      at once. This avoids asking for the password several times.
      (LP: #716595)
  * debian/apport.postinst: Add missing debhelper token.
  * debian/rules: Drop dump_acpi_tables.py chmod workaround, it's upstream now
    and has the proper permissions.
  * Add etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport and drop the creation of it in
    /debian/rules. This is easier to maintain and more obvious. Also move
    README.blacklist from python-apport to apport, it fits better there.
  * etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport: Add the binaries of nspluginwrapper, as we
    can't do anything about them anyway. (LP: #717468)

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Properly set regression-release tag if
    the reporter chooses "I do not know".
