Bug Description

I was using ubuntu-bug -w to report a bug about a window and noticed the following in my terminal.

bdmurray@clean-trusty-amd64:~$ ubuntu-bug -w
Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/shutil.py", line 452, in rmtree
    orig_st = os.lstat(path)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/launchpadlib.cache.lmofbkk8'

This seems to be an error with apport and the changes to how it manages the launchpadlib cache.

I'm referring to the following change:

apport (2.14-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Add KernelCrash reports when iwlwifi encounters a firmware error (via
      the "error_dump" uevent and the new iwlwifi_error_dump helper). Thanks
      Seth Forshee!
    - launchpad: Really use a temporary launchpadlib cache dir by default.
      This avoids piling up gigabytes of useless cached data over time, which
      also tends to break every now and then.
    - Fix crash in logind session detection. Thanks Dimitri Ledkov!
      (LP: #1296026)

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.14.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.14.1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - Fix FileNotFoundError from temporary launchpadlib cache dir cleanup.
      (LP: #1300474)
    - ui.py, open_url(): Skip any Python cleanup/atexit handlers in the forked
      xdg-open child, to avoid calling them twice. (Side issue of LP #1300474
      and #1282713)
    - apport-kde: Work around crash in sip by skipping the destructors of SIP
      objects. Thanks Rohan Garg! (LP: #1282713)
