lp-set-dup crashes

[Rolf Leggewie]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

lp-set-dup crashed twice on me today. I'm not exactly sure what triggers it, but it may be that the bug to be closed as dupe being set to private triggers this. FWIW, I can make the change in LP itself without any further problems. Below is a trace.

As far I can tell this crash happens if two conditions are met:
1) the bug is private
2) you gave the "ubuntu-dev-tools" access token only access "to change non-private data" which is the most common setup

Fix committed in r589.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.93

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.93) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Scott Moser ]
  * rename mk-sbuild-lv to mk-sbuild, support union-type=aufs

  [ Emmet Hikory ]
  * Support qemu-arm-static -> qemu-kvm-extras-static transition
  * mk-sbuild: automatically install qemu-kvm-extras-static if requested
  * mk-sbuild: conditionally install lvm2 only for lvm-snapshot schroots
  * mk-sbuild: rationalise architecture variables
  * mk-sbuild: Generalise --type support and add "file" SCHROOT_TYPE
  * mk-sbuild.1: Document the --type argument

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * Demote qemu-kvm-extras-static to a Suggests since most people don't build
    for armel.

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * requestsync: add -C to allow manually adding changelog when missing
    (LP: #518574).
  * mk-sbuild: clean up and make slight adjustments to new lvm/dir/file logic.
  * mk-sbuild.1: update documentation to reflect alternative config file
    names for distro and schroot type overrides.
  * mk-sbuild, docs/mk-sbuild.1: document DEBOOTSTRAP_MIRROR for good
    measure, thanks to Paul Holcomb.

  [ Michael Bienia ]
  * ubuntutools/requestsync/mail.py: Encode the report to utf-8 before passing
    it to gpg for signing (LP: #522316).
  * Add support for the other LP service roots (edge is still default)
  * Depend on python-launchpadlib >= 1.5.4
  * Also check package sets for upload permissions.
  * lp-set-dup: Don't crash when accessing private bugs (LP: #525539)
  * requestsync: Subscribe 'ubuntu-release' to Feature Freeze exceptions
    (updated to current policy; LP: #532740)

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * edit-patch: add wrapper around cdbs-edit-patch, dpatch-edit-patch, quilt
    to transparently deal with the various patch systems.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * lp-shell: Disable default apport excepthook, as this is intended for
    interactive use.
