[apport] apport-gtk crashed with AttributeError in __init__()

[Vassilis Pandis]

Binary package hint: apport

This is on current feisty. I saw I had updates to install and I tried to do it using update-manager. It hung downloading the last list file from the archives and after 3-4 minutes crashed. apport came up, detecting the crash. I told it "send info", it collects data, crashes itself. Apport comes up again, informing me that its previous instance has crashed. This is the report.

Note to self: Catch all exceptions from urlopen(), not just IOError.

 apport (0.64) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add 'login' command.
   * bin/apport-chroot: Install apport-retrace into a newly created chroot.
   * Add debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Script to install local versions
     of apport, debootstrap, fake{,ch}root libraries, and a feisty apport
     fakechroot. This works OOTB on ronne's amd64 and i386 feisty chroots. The
     script is not shipped in any package yet, but it's convenient to ship it
     in revision control and in the source.
   * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted(): When calling an interpreter with a
     script name as argument, set ExecutablePath to the script instead of the
     interpreter. Add test case. (LP: #88794)
   * apport/report.py, search_bug_patterns(): Catch all exceptions from
     urlopen(), not just IOError. Sometimes this fails with funnier errors.
     (LP: #89589)
   * bin/apport-retrace: Give some additional explanation when installing
     packages fails. (LP: #89916)
   * apport/fileutils.py, get_all_{system_,}reports(): Fix file access race
     condition. (LP: #89977)
   * bin/apport-retrace: Add option -p/--extra-package to install an additional
     package for retracing. May be specified multiple times. Document new
     option in man/apport-retrace.1. (LP: #90077)
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add a similar option -p/--extra-package and install
     those in the 'create' command and simply pass it to apport-retrace in the
     'retrace' command. (LP: #90077)
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add a -v/--verbose option.
   * bin/apport-retrace: Do not complain about missing ddebs for Arch: all
     packages.
