Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I've seen an apport submitted package bug, bug 365328, where the reporter did not accept the license of the package. I think that if 'user did not accept the XYZ license' appears in the error the bug should not be reported at all.

ProblemType: Bug

Brian,

Thank you for summiting this item to help make Ubuntu better, but I think that this is more of a question then a bug. IMHO

Best Regards,
Leo

Unfortunately there is no standard way for a package to "fail" in such a defined manner.

Such a standard way could be defined and then be used by sun-java5 and apt, and apt would then not generate an apport report.

Changed in sun-java5 (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Triaged
summary:	- apport shouldn't report license declinations + don't report package install failures for declined license
affects:	apport (Ubuntu) → apt (Ubuntu)
