gwibber-service (version 2.29.92) crashed with ServerError in _request()

Binary package hint: gwibber

Gwibber crash. I am aware that there are other bug reports (see end of this comment) about Gwibber crashes but having looked that the traceback, it is not the same. May be because I am running version 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1 of Gwibber.

Here is some supporting information:

The development version of Lucid I am running is, I think, perhaps beta1 (installed from repositories 24th March) and apt-cache shows Gwibber is most recent version available right now:

: #gnubyexample@amd754n(/) ;apt-cache policy gwibber
gwibber:
  Installed: 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Here is a simple grep that will show if a similar bug report looks to be the same as what I am reporting here.

: #gnubyexample@amd754n(/) ;egrep '(client\.py|microblog|in module|create=True|ctx=ctx)' /var/crash/*gwibber*.* | wc -l
8
: #gnubyexample@amd754n(/) ;date;egrep '(client\.py|microblog|in module|create=True|ctx=ctx)' /var/crash/*gwibber*.*;date

     from gwibber.microblog import dispatcher
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/dispatcher.py", line 41, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/util/couch.py", line 64, in __init__
     self.database = CouchDatabase(dbname, create=True)
     server_class=server_class, oauth_tokens=oauth_tokens, ctx=ctx)
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/couchdb/client.py", line 124, in __contains__
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/couchdb/client.py", line 981, in head
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/couchdb/client.py", line 1035, in _request

If you get a result other than 8 from running...
      egrep '(client\.py|microblog|in module|create=True|ctx=ctx)' /var/crash/*gwibber*.* | wc -l
then your bug is probably not the same as this one or you are running a different version of Gwibber.

Other bug reports which might have some relevance, but might have been encountered at Lucid alpha stage or seem to
have a different traceback:
