apport-gtk crashed with SIGSEGV in PyEval_EvalFrameEx()

[kyleabaker]

Binary package hint: apport

Ubuntu 8.04 x64
apport: 0.102

MetaCity crashed and I apport was gathering information to send, but apport suddenly crashed. I'm unsure what triggered MetaCity or apport to crash. Hopefully the uploaded information will point this problem out. This is the first time apport has crashed on my machine, but MetaCity seems to crash on a regular basis.

Similar situation with me. Actual crash message:

jerryb, can you please install the debug packages "libglib2.0-0-dbgsym" and obtain a new trace? Thanks in advance.

[jerryb (gerald-britton)]

OK -- I installed the library. Now do I have to do anything special to
get the trace or just make it crash? Where does the trace output go?

You can follow the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. Thanks.

[jerryb (gerald-britton)]

gdb backtrace attached

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

reassigning to pygtk; it is more likely, that the error is in some of the bindings than in python itself. please could you check if you can reproduce this in current jaunty?

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Sorry, jerryb, for the long delay. It would be good if you can obtain another backtrace after installing "libgtk2.0-0-dbg". Then the backtrace should be quite complete. Thanks in advance.

[jerryb (gerald-britton)]

New Backtrace attached as requested

[jerryb (gerald-britton)]

Did it

Thank you. By the way, what are you doing to reproduce the crash and to get the backtrace that confident? Or where you starting gdb and waiting for it to crash randomly?

[jerryb (gerald-britton)]

I have to start up my application then work with it for a while.
Eventually it crashes, though there seems to be no relationship
between what I did and the crash, since the sequence is different
every time. Sometimes it crashes in a minute or two; sometimes it
takes longer.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
