[apport] apport-gtk crashed with OSError in add_proc_info()

[Ulrich Hobelmann]

Binary package hint: apport

Not sure which program caused this at all (or what "apport" is). I clicked on "report a bug" in rhythmbox 0.9.8 and then closed the application. At that point the crash window opened.

Indeed it stumbled over the fact that Ryhthmbox was not running any more by the time when the bug reporter started and collected information. I guess I will just silently do nothing in this case.

 apport (0.71) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * cli/apport-cli, qt4/apport-qt: Fix bad grammar 'some minutes'.
     (LP: #95296)
   * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Add optional 'preamble' parameter. Add
     test case.
   * apport/ui.py, upload_launchpad_blob(): Set need-$ARCH-retrace tag in MIME
     preamble. Bump p-problem-report dependency. (LP: #94790)
   * bin/apport-retrace: In verbose mode, display the path of currently
     extracting deb.
   * bin/apport-retrace: Do not fall over errors of dpkg -x (which happens e.
     g. on udev, where it cannot unpack /dev, since this is a symlink to the
     real /dev). Merely print out a warning about it.
   * apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Ignore ENOENT from add_proc_info(). This
     happens if the user closes the application prematurely, so that /proc/pid
     does not exist any more. Add test case. (LP: #95954)
   * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Ignore lines in .md5sums
     files which contain a NUL byte. This Should Not Happen™, but nevertheless
     did. (LP: #96050)
   * apport/ui.py, doc/package-hooks.txt: Check for a field
     "UnreportableReason: <text>" and display an information box that the
     current crash cannot be reported because of <text>. Add test case.
     Document the new field.
   * apport/ui.py: Check package origin, compare it to DistroRelease:, and
     report crash as unreportable if they do not match. This particularly saves
     the user from uploading large reports for e. g. opera crashes, and avoids
     filing Ubuntu bugs from Debian installations. (LP: #75513)
