Description

Sometimes messages in reports are very poor.

Example

Component: Debian/Ubuntu packages
Value: isc-dhcp-server
Message: Error taking action for deb package isc-dhcp-server with policy: add
Status: Error

Proposal

It might be a good idea to include a link with the actual message, like the link provided with a failed Deployment status. However, I have no idea if that's possible.

Example message

Setting up isc-dhcp-server (4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5.9) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript isc-dhcp-server, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing isc-dhcp-server (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 isc-dhcp-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Sorry, wrong classification. It's not a bug.

This has started improving in 6.0 and will continue with the improvement of:

  • info messages, for example for package modules
  • display of the information, with a better link between components and logs
