apport-retrace(1)  has  the  capability of checking for duplicate bugs (amongst 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.

dump   Print a list of all database entries.

       changeid
              Change the associated crash ID for a particular crash.

       publish
              Export  the  duplicate  database into a set of text files in the given directory which is suitable
              for WWW publishing.  If the directory already exists, it will be updated. The new content is built
              in a new directory which is the given one with ".new" appended, then moved to the given name in an
              almost atomic way.
