Description of problem: ABRT should help users without much knowledge to report problems with some apps, but when app crashes, sometimes abrt deletes core file and just reports: > abrtd: Corrupted or bad dump foo (res:N), deleting "res:N" is not helping to identify why abrt does not process that crash and just deletes core file. It makes support difficult Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-2.0.2-5.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: sometimes Steps to Reproduce: unknown, just wait till some app crashes and abrt deletes core file Actual results: reason obfuscated : > abrtd: Corrupted or bad dump foo (res:N), deleting I've seen res:1,2,4 so far Expected results: reason explained
Fixed in git: commit 26a0f776d32d0d5be2e15abe781adf5a830c24cc Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk> Date: Wed Dec 7 14:14:56 2011 +0100 abrtd: always explain why we delete "corrupted" dir. Closes rhbz#706131. We were almost always explaining it, except for the case when 'post-create' was failing silently.
