Comment 8 for bug 1855629

I decided to see if I could reproduce this problem with newer versions of checkbox-ng.

I found that the current stable release produces a different stack trace after the submssion description is entered (see attachment).

With latest master versions the exception is caught and error message printed:

Do you want to submit 'upload to certification' report?
  y => yes
  n => no
[yn]: y
Enter submission description (press Enter to skip): Remote testing
Problem with a 'upload to certification' report using 'com.canonical.plainbox::tar' exporter sent to '/home/joc/.local/share/checkbox-ng/submission_2020-05-01T16.49.25.912461.xlsx' transport.

However, it's fair to say the problem persists.
