Proposed as a Blocker for 28-beta by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because: This bug affects the Basic Release Criteria. The installer must be able to report failures to Bugzilla, with appropriate information included.
a6200-280 $33.40 Discussed at 2018-03-19 Fedora 28 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2018-03-19/f28-blocker-review.2018-03-19-16.02.html . As the report is actually failed, but anaconda crashes before displaying the URL, we decided this wasn't a serious enough violation to constitute a Beta blocker, but it is serious enough to constitute a Final blocker. We also accepted it as a freeze exception issue for Beta, as obviously it'd be good to fix this if possible.
Siiiiigh. Serves me right for using the same scratch text file for a) blocker secretary work and b) air conditioner maintenance. :P
Based on my discover the proper fix should be done in Simpleline.
Jiri - any news on this? It's blocking Final, and we're coming up on Final now. Freeze is in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
Work in progress. PR: https://github.com/rhinstaller/python-simpleline/pull/51 Sorry I forgot to move it to post.
This was actually included in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-205aabf6cb , but it wasn't tagged. We just need to confirm whether the fix worked, then we can close this.
On 20180415.n.0 compose, I can confirm that it works and the bug is created correctly. However take into account this bug 1541868 Thanks
I also tested this and it works and reports the bug correctly. However, the bug Alessio speaks about in Comment 14 is still relevant. The fuzz is still produced.
Thanks for the confirmation, Alessio, Lukas. I think the spam would be an FE issue not a blocker one, unfortunately doesn't look like anyone has picked it up to work on yet :( I'll poke the libreport folks and see if anything drops loose. Since reporting does actually work now, we can close this one.
