bughelper crashed with NotBranchError in find_format()

[Sense Egbert Hofstede]

Binary package hint: bughelper

This happened when I tried to test bughelper:

qense@nott:~$ bughelper --footer=st -p alsa-lib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bughelper", line 255, in <module>

    raise errors.NotBranchError(path=transport.base)
bzrlib.errors.NotBranchError: Not a branch: "/home/qense/.bughelper/packages/".

Please notice that just before this bzr crashed, but I didn't submit the apport crash report. I'm going to do that now and post the Bug report in a comment here.

It's bug 226485

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

Hi Sense,
can you still reproduce this error? - If so, can you please checkt the following list:

* does ~/.bughelper/packages exist
* does cd ~/.bughelper/packages exist; bzr info result in an error
* does it help to remove ~/.bughelper/packages and then run bughelper again (this would checkout the whole branch again)

Thanks,
Markus

Hello,

I tried again to check if it still happened, but the bug couldn't be
reproduced.
It was probably fixed in one of the updates published since I reported the
bug.
