Thanks for your bug report.
It seems that there is a problem with one of your accomplishments collections you have installed on your system.
What accomplishment collections you have installed? Or maybe have you tried developing your own?
Also, it may be helpful if you provided us the daemon log file, which should be here: ~/.cache/accomplishments/logs/daemon.log

[Jono Bacon (jonobacon)]

This looks like your accomplishments collection is too old. Ensure you are running only the 0.1 release packages.

[Simon Watson (simon-swat)]

I too am seeing this bug. I was running a pre-0.1 version, but thought that was pretty much self contained.

I've tried moving away a lot of the old config files from /home, but still get the error.

Will continue trying to find the precise cause of this.

[Rafał Cieślak (rafalcieslak256)]

Could you please confirm if this is still happening in the latest code? Either grab source from trunk branch, or use the daily-builds PPA (package should be in version 0.1+45 or greater, it will build within several hours).

If the crash is still present, please send the error message you are getting (it will be different due to recent changes in code).

[Jono Bacon (jonobacon)]

Chris, is this still happening?

[Chris Wayne (cwayne18)]

Nope, no longer happening. I'll mark it as invalid.
