bzr crashed with NoSuchRevision in _translate_error()

[James Hunt]

Binary package hint: bzr

Running, "bzr push -v lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/0.9" caused bzr to crash with an error relating to a missing revision (as shown in apport output).

This line looks rather suspicious btw:

ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/bzr push -v lp:~usernameodhunt/upstart/0.9

Seems to be an amalgam of "username" and my lp username "jamesodhunt" (!?!)

The branch lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/0.9 *does* appear on my lp page but in what state I wonder? I tried re-pushing with --overwrite but bzr says:

  No new revisions to push.
  Nothing seems to have changed

[James Hunt (jamesodhunt)]

I got the same error when I attempted to push the same branch to: lp:~upstart-devel/upstart/0.9

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Does this also fail with just "bzr push" rather than "bzr push -v" ?

[James Hunt (jamesodhunt)]

@jelmer: you are correct - the problem is caused by the verbose option:

# SUCCESS
$ bzr push lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/ignore-me-testing123

# FAILS
$ bzr push -v lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/ignore-me-testing321

Although bzr displays a stack trace, it does appear that the branch *is* successfully pushed (since "bzr diff --old lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/ignore-me-testing321", for example, reports no output), however I would like confirmation that this bug isn't fatal to the pushed branch!
