apport-gtk crashed with TypeError in function(): markup_escape_text() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

Seems to be the same as bug 828010, but I've installed all updates and restarted since that bug was marked Fix Released.

This particular problem was fixed with a newer apport release. However, now we have the opposite problem, as the API of markup_escape_text() was actually fixed in pygobject:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 368, in <module>
     app.run_argv()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 599, in run_argv

     n = GLib.markup_escape_text(n, -1).decode('UTF-8')

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.22.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (1.22.1-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream release:
    - dupdb-admin: Add "removeid" command.
    - dupdb-admin: Use the in-memory CrashDB implementation for simple
      operations like dump or changeid, which do not require an actual
      backend. This makes the command work in checkouts without a
      /etc/apport/crashdb.conf.
    - dupdb-admin: Fix UnicodeEncodeError crash.
    - launchpad.py: Fix crash if a crash report does not have a DistroRelease.
    - Set the default "Apport" title for choice dialogs instead of the default
      apport-gtk title. Thanks Robert Roth. (LP: #608222)
    - apport-gtk: Update markup_escape_text() call to current glib.
      (LP: #829635)
  * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Only set a DuplicateSignature and
    change the source package if we are reporting a package or program crash,
    not for ProblemType == 'Bug'.

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: check the device holding /, /var and /usr
    partitions for I/O errors and if they exist make the bug unreportable
  * data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Use attachment OemConfigLog to determine
    whether or not to tag the bug oem-config not information in syslog

My bug #843694 is marked af duplicate of this bug. but i have apport - 1.22.1-0ubuntu1 installed

[Jeff Licquia (jeff-licquia)]

My bug (845893) was filed against apport 1.22.1-0ubuntu2.

[Mirco Müller (macslow)]

I still get this with apport-gtk 1.23-0ubuntu1, therefore I reopened it.

Closing again. This bug has already too many duplicates and times out
in LP, and it is definitively fixed in Apport. Most likely cause is
that you have held back packages, you need gir1.2-glib-2.0
1.29.17-0ubuntu1.

[Mirco Müller (macslow)]

*sigh* yeah... I've only gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.29.16-0ubuntu1 here
