Comment 2 for bug 576757

This happened again today:
{{{
11:00 < voidspace> attempting to add a new email to my launchpad account fails - is this a known issue?
11:01 < voidspace> statik: hi
11:01 < voidspace> (Error ID: OOPS-1710E559)
11:01 < ubot5> https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1710E559
}}}

and

{{{
11:20 < noodles775> voidspace: re. your oops - one of the LP registry team will be interested to look at fixing the bug, but for what its worth, the exception is being raised while it is trying to tell you that the email address is already in use.
11:20 < wgrant> For which we have ShipIt to blame :(
11:21 < wgrant> I suspect.
11:21 < noodles775> wgrant: Ah, does it create email addresses where email.person is None?
11:21 -!- voidspace [~voidspace@87-194-212-65.bethere.co.uk] has quit [Read error: No route to host]
11:21 < wgrant> noodles775: ShipIt does Accounts, not Persons.
11:21 < wgrant> So, yes :(
11:22 < wgrant> And for no very good reason it still haunts the same DB as LP.
