apport-gtk crashes when reporting a bug for saved crash file

[Omer Akram]

I gathered apport logs with 'apport-cli camera-app' on the phone and pulled it on my computer and tried 'ubuntu-bug camera.apport' the report crash window appears but when I clicked 'Continue' it crashes and terminal shows:

om26er@TM8473T:~/Documents$ ubuntu-bug camera.apport
Traceback (most recent call last):

attached the sample log file which caused the crash

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I cannot reproduce the crash with attached file. I do "ubuntu-bug /tmp/camera.apport", it shows me the dialog, and it happily uploads the data to LP. I wonder why it's trying to restart the process on the reporting system, do you actually have camera-app installed there? That seems to be the only path in the code where this could happen.

I understand what's going on here, thanks for reporting! Created a test case for this and a fix in trunk r2698.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

That seems to be the case. I had camera-app installed on the desktop, If I
remove it from my desktop I can report bugs fine. There, this is what needs
fixing, I guess.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.12.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.12.2-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release. Changes since previous snapshot:
    - crash-digger: Write pid into lock file. Thanks Steve Langasek.
    - apport-gtk: When loading a Bug report from a file, properly set up for
      bug reporting mode. (LP: #1226140)
    - Move "program is not installed any more" check from report loading into
      data collection, so that crash reports can be moved and reported on
      machines without that program installed. (LP: #1226030)
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Add output of "system-image-info -i" to
    reports as field "SystemImageInfo", to better identify phablet builds.
    (LP: #1225113)
  * Add gdb-minimal dependency to apport-noui, as for crashes we always need a
    StacktraceAddressSignature at least. (part of LP #1226030)
