Description Brian J. Murrell 2013-12-02 22:03:20 UTC
Description of problem:
abrt-gui fails to unpack debuginfo cpio archive

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1.9-1.fc20

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wait for something to crash (not difficult in fc20-beta)
2. start abrt-gui
3. say no to uploading coredump

Actual results:
abrt attempts to install debuginfo packages and gets:

2013-12-02-16:16:56  Coredump references 178 debuginfo files, 178 of them are not installed
2013-12-02-16:16:57  Setting up yum repositories

Expected results:
abrt installs require debuginfo packages

Additional info:

The cpio archive that abrt complains about exists and is valid:

# cpio -itv < /var/tmp/abrt-tmp-debuginfo-2013-12-02-16:16:56.17521/unpacked.cpio
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     root            0 Nov 15 09:31 ./usr/lib/debug

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root            0 Nov 15 09:30 ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/14
...

Unfortunately due to this, I can't report the various other things on FC20 that are crashing right now.

Comment 1 Brian J. Murrell 2013-12-03 11:59:51 UTC
This is a pretty critical bug as it prevents the filing of other fairly serious application crashes with meaningful stack traces.

For example I have one seemingly gtk crash whenever evolution (and who knows what else) is run on the second screen of a dual-head configuration, which itself I think should quality at least critical if not blocker for the release.

Comment 2 Jakub Filak 2013-12-03 13:05:36 UTC
Thank you for the report. If you have time to run the following commands

$ cd /var/cache/abrt-di
$ cpio -idu < /var/tmp/abrt-tmp-debuginfo-2013-12-02-16:16:56.17521/unpacked.cpio

, please do so and report the results here.

Comment 3 Jakub Filak 2014-11-11 12:30:53 UTC
Is this bug still reproducible?

Comment 4 Brian J. Murrell 2014-11-11 15:30:36 UTC
I don't really know.  I don't get many new crashes and all the ones I do get (repeatedly) are known so abrt doesn't really take any action on that.

Perhaps we need to wait for FC21 to get new bugs to verify this on.

Comment 5 Christopher Beland 2015-04-20 17:03:18 UTC
I think this has been reproduced in Bug 1169774 for Fedora 20 and Bug 1213485 for Fedora 21.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:54:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:22:18 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
