Description of the change

Inspired by Brian Murray's post to ubuntu-bugsquad [1], I've created a pattern for bug 1550950. :)

Tested a bit and found that the pattern matches both this the original bug as well as all but three of the duplicates. (The non-matches either lack DpkgTerminalLog or doesn't contain the error message for unknown reasons) I haven't done any testing to see what isn't covered, but I tried to make the pattern rather specific to avoid catching unrelated issues.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for working on this!

This looks good, but I think it should be more specific, we don't hide this issue if it comes up again by stopping reporting of this crash. (This would happen because apport uses bug patterns to redirect people to a bug.)

I used lp-bug-dupe-properties to see if we could specify the package version.

$ lp-bug-dupe-properties -D Package -b 1550950

That won't work because the package is being installed. What else could we use?

The package version we are installing appears in the DpkgTerminalLog so let's add that too.
