automation, you have probably mistyped bug id. Bug 1048156 is about libreoffice, and this one is about apport and python 3.

Marking this critical, as apport (at least 'ubuntu-bug') is completely unusable without a fix.

So, it was this change:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~apport-hackers/apport/trunk/revision/2487

made to fix bug 1029479, that introduced this function, with this bug in it.

So here in lines 951-2 of launchpad.py:

        for ch in tags.lower().encode('ASCII', errors='ignore'):
            if ch.isspace() or ch.isalpha() or ch.isdigit() or (len(res) > 0 and ch in b'+-.'):

The first line is creating ch as an int, according to the traceback. And the second line expects a string. I'm not pythony enough to have a quick fix yet. Thanks.

Temporary workaround is described in desctiption. Just open file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py and replace function _filter_tag_names (near the line 952) by this stub:

    @classmethod
    def _filter_tag_names(klass, tags):
        return tags
