[requestsync] crashed in _request

[Kamal Mostafa]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

requestsync crashed while filing bug #531722, as follows. Note that requestsync did actually file that bug, but didn't automatically set to 'wishlist' (which I think it normally does, yes?).

I do not think this is the same problem as bug #509760 despite having the same crash trace, since my app permissions for ubuntu-dev-tools haven't changed and requestsync normally works for me (referring to comment #2 in that bug).

The crash was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/requestsync", line 219, in <module>

Sounds like an other instance of bug #336866. I should really add some code to catch this error and retry at least once.

as this is ~10 years old, i'm closing as wontfix
