Fwd: [abrt] Zim-0.56-3.fc17: fs.py:539:_parse_uri:AssertionError: Can not handle non-local file uris

[Robin Lee]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870138

Description of problem:
- Write the following: file://path/to/file (I really had this, but I guess it will work with any path that does not exist on the system)
- Zim will automatically create a link a file
- Click on that link (with right click the error occurs, too)

Expected:
left click: error message "The file could not be found" or so
right click: context menu with at least the option the remove the link

Version-Release number of selected component:
Zim-0.56-3.fc17

Additional info:
libreport version: 2.0.16
abrt_version: 2.0.16
cmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/zim
kernel: 3.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64

Behavior is indeed a bug. But be aware that file uris need to start either
with "file://localhost" or "file:///" to exist on the local file system at
all.

Fixed in rev610. Will now consistently interpret file://foo/bar as a link to a share drive

Unfortunately you do not always get an error message when clicked, can also fail silently - e.g. on my Ubuntu install this command goes to gvfs-open which fails without returning an error code to zim :(

Fix released in zim 0.58
