Description Kevin Kofler 2017-03-27 14:35:59 UTC

Since version 5.29.0, KCrash defaults to not only bringing up DrKonqi, but also rethrowing crashes for downstream crash handlers:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128437/
This means that the user gets 2 bug reporting UIs (DrKonqi and ABRT), which is really confusing. It also means the bugs can end up in the wrong place (the user can report them either upstream or downstream or both) instead of going only directly upstream (through DrKonqi).

To fix this, kf5-kcrash must be built with:
-DKCRASH_CORE_PATTERN_RAISE_DEFAULT:BOOL="OFF"
Unfortunately, this is missing in the current Fedora kf5-kcrash.spec on all branches. It should be pushed as a bugfix update to all branches ASAP.

For Fedora 24 (originally shipped with kf5-kcrash-5.22) and Fedora 25 (originally shipped with kf5-kcrash-5.27), this is a regression introduced by the kf5-kcrash-5.29 update and ought to be fixed as soon as possible.

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2017-03-27 14:38:23 UTC

Sorry, that should be:
-DKCRASH_CORE_PATTERN_RAISE:BOOL="OFF"
(without the "_DEFAULT" part). See:
https://cgit.kde.org/kcrash.git/tree/CMakeLists.txt#n39
