[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Thank you for your bug report.
I'm assigning it to python-launchpad-bugs, where the crash happened.
It's similar to bug 130484, which was claimed to be fixed in Hardy in March already, but apparently isn't.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Qchacho, can you please post the output of the following commands, run in a terminal/shell:
1. dpkg-query -W python-launchpad-bugs
2. dpkg -l | grep python-launchpad-bugs

Thank you.

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

Hi Qchacho,
can also please attach the output of

python -c "import subprocess; import string; print repr(subprocess.Popen(['dpkg-query','-W','python-launchpad-bugs'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]); print repr(string.whitespace)"

Thanks,
Markus

This should not be a issue anymore, the code generating the http-header changed with the current version of python-launchpad-bugs.
However if this changes result in a similar issue, please open a new bugreport.
