AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'stopListening'

[Gavin Panella]

This may have been triggered by a misbehaving TFTP client, but it's a bug nevertheless. Fortunately it does not appear to have any user-facing consequences.

Looks like an upstream library bug to me.

Hello Gavin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-tx-tftp into zesty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-tx-tftp/0.1~bzr47-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for zesty for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.
