Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1598 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE abrt and libreport bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:51:16 UTC

Description Jiri Moskovcak 2011-07-26 18:43:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Anaconda doesn't have /etc/*-release (why?) so libreport can't use it to determine product and version and fails to report a problem. We need to reinstate the  getVersion_fromProduct and getProduct_fromPRODUCT from the report package which can get the required release information directly from anaconda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreport-2.0.5-2.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create anaconda image with libreport packages
2. make anaconda crash

  
Actual results:
libreport fails to determine release -> bz and rhtsupport plugins fails to create a ticket.

Proposed (tested) patch

This patch fixes the problem with missing /etc/*-release on Anaconda images. It uses the same method to determine the os release as report.
