apport-cli crashed with IOError in mark_report_seen()

[Brian Murray]

Binary package hint: apport

I was trying to submit a ubiquity crash report that was not submitting via the GUI interface. I was using this command line: sudo sh -c 'apport-cli --crash-file=/var/crash/_usr_lib_ubiquity_bin_ubiquity.0.crash '. This was discovered using the Edubuntu 20071009.1 amd64 Desktop CD.

And this was output when running the command:

*** Collecting problem information

application. This might take a few minutes.

Adding the ubiquity crash file that causes the apport crash.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Hm, apport-cli -c with that crash file works perfectly here, and I don't have similar bug reports. I'll keep this open for a while until I or someone else can reproduce this. I have no idea how a report object could have tuples as arguments when loading it from a file.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I cannot reproduce it here using 0.107, too.

Some notes:
 1. See also bug 205163, which is similar. (but for the qt UI)
 2. The Traceback.txt (and title) submitted for this bug here are actually different from the bug description.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Will look at this while fixing bug 205163.
