dupdb-admin

NAME

dupdb-admin - Manage the duplicate database for apport-retrace.

SYNOPSIS

dupdb-admin -f dbpath status

dupdb-admin -f dbpath dump

dupdb-admin -f dbpath changeid oldid newid

DESCRIPTION

apport-retrace(1) has the capability of checking for duplicate bugs (amonst other things). It uses an SQLite database for keeping track of master bugs. dupdb-admin is a small tool to manage that database.

The central concept in that database is a "crash signature", a string that uniquely identifies a particular crash. It is built from the executable path name, the signal number or exception name, and the topmost functions of the stack trace.

The database maps crash signatures to the 'master' crash id and thus can close duplicate crash reports with a reference to that master ID. It also tracks the status of crashes (open/fixed in a particular version) to be able to identify regressions.

MODES

status

Print general status of the duplicate db. For now, it only shows the time when the database was "consolidated" last, i. e. when the bug states (open/fixed) in the SQLite database where updated to the actual states in the bug tracking system.

dump

Print a list of all database entries.

changeid

Change the associated crash ID for a particular crash.

OPTIONS

-f path, --database-file=path

Instead of processing the new crash reports in /var/crash/, report a particular report in an arbitrary file location. This is useful for copying a crash report to a machine with internet connection and reporting it from there. This defaults to ~./apport_duplicates.db.
