Comment 2 for bug 658225

"Me, too".

The "create" function works normally. "Restore" function fails as described. When I start aptoncd from the command line, the following traceback occurs after clicking the "Load" button (for file selection):

Traceback (most recent call last):

AptOnCD does not error exit. This is repeatable.
