wajig.py crashed with AttributeError in do_describe(): 'str' object has no attribute 'installed'

[Andrei]

I've just installed wajig 2.7.3. After that I've updated about 50 packages with Software Updater (it wanted a restart but I haven't restarted yet).

I've run the command 'wagjig new'.

The output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wajig/wajig.py", line 848, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/wajig/wajig.py", line 844, in main
    result.func(result)
  File "/usr/share/wajig/commands.py", line 594, in new
    util.newly_available(args.verbose)
  File "/usr/share/wajig/util.py", line 93, in newly_available
    do_describe([package.strip() for package in packages], die=False)
  File "/usr/share/wajig/util.py", line 310, in do_describe
    packageversion = package.installed
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'installed'

The error at line 296 (except KeyError as e) is: "The cache has no package named 'appmenu-qt-dbgsym'".
Also the die variable is False so it won't return from the function.

I have seen this too. I will have a look later.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Graham Williams (gjwkayon)]

Testing on current wajig (4.0.2) in the repos and latest wajig (4.0.12) about to be uploaded to the Debian repositories. Can not replicate this bug of 10 years ago. I suggest it has been resolved and can be closed.
