Apport 2.3-0ubuntu1 crash : ImportError: cannot import name Wnck

[dino99]

Quantal i386 logged as gnome-classic

got a nautilus crash then tried to report, but got an apport crash instead. Looking inside that crash, i get:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 16, in <module>
     from gi.repository import GObject, GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
 ImportError: cannot import name Wnck

Same issue with the new apport 2.3-0ubuntu2

of course when looking at "wnck" inside synaptic, none of the related packages is installed; i suppose that apport should depend on one of them.

feedback after installing gir1.2-wnck-3.0

with that package installed, apport can be loaded and report crash about itself (see details of initial issue: Bug #1022587 )

[dino99 (9d9)]

fixed with the coming:

apport (2.3-0ubuntu4) quantal; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Add gir1.2-wnck-3.0 dependency for apport-gtk, needed by
    the new --hanging feature.
  * Merge from trunk:
    - test_python_crashes.py: Fix race condition in timeout test.
