Apport creates crash reports for zfs-dkms retries #44

Closed dajhorn closed 11 years ago

dajhorn commented 12 years ago

Apport is triggered if zfs-dkms is retried because spl-dkms is not ready. If a desktop environment is running, then the user is incorrectly notified that zfs-dkms crashed.

Blacklist the zfs-dkms package such that apport ignores it.

Note, however, that no report is sent upstream:

*** Problem in zfs-dkms
The problem cannot be reported:
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again.

This ticket was mooted by implementing a dependency model in dkms.

Note that dkms packages cannot be blacklisted because apport has a special handler for them, and changing that infrastructure was a lot more work than enhancing dkms.
