I’ve had some very important reports deleted because it didn’t consider them to be useful:
Regardless of how they appear in gnome-abrt’s GUI, can I have abrt retain all reports? I do like that it clears duplicates, but I’d much rather just have a report marked as a duplicate of another, than have it removed! [1] I’ve TiBs free.
From man abrt.conf:
MaxCrashReportsSize = number
The maximum disk space (specified in MiB) that ABRT will use for all the crash dumps. Value of 0 means "unlimited space".
Default is 5000.
I’ve never messed with that setting.
@glb, I didn’t know that one could man a filename, as if it were in $PATH! Thanks!
I’ve set /etc/abrt/abrt.conf to:
# Configuration for the ABRT daemon
# ---------------------------------
#
# This config file is empty by default which means that the preconfigured
# default values will be used by ABRT. If you wish to override the default
# settings, you can do so here.
#
# For details regarding the contents of this file and the defaults, see
# `man 5 abrt.conf`.
MaxCrashReportsSize=0
…since I presume that it utilises either .desktop or .sh syntax.
I don’t see any options to prevent it deleting reports that it doesn’t consider to be useful, however.
Just for the record, one of the first things I often do when I want to investigate a program’s settings and capabilities is run rpm -ql <package-name>. In this case, I was looking for what config files existed. Sometimes there are config files under /usr that determine defaults. In this case, it showed that there was a man page for abrt.conf.
HTH 
As a temporary workaround, deleting the problem in gnome-abrt (abrt remove isn’t sufficient), [1] then reproducing it, appears to remediate this, [2] thereby allowing me to bypass t/132081/27. [3] [4]
