Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

When running a dist-upgrade on 20090715 from Jaunty to Karmic I noticed the following python traceback:

16:21:51 - flash:[~] sudo update-manager -d
........................................................................
 * Starting automatic crash report generation: apport [ OK ]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/package_hook", line 58, in <module>
    pr.write(open(apport.fileutils.make_report_path(pr), 'w'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 306, in write
    f = open(v[0]) # file name
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/var/log/dist-upgrade/20090715-1634'
