Bug Description

I'm testing Karmic and Ubuntu-bug today crashed with the following output:

Same problem here. This appears to be trivial to reproduce with 'ubuntu-bug', and was introduced in the latest update to apport; bugs I filed yesterday before upgrading apport did not experience this problem.

Changed in apport (Ubuntu):

importance: Undecided → High

This got fixed this morning in

apport (1.2.1-0ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no changes necessary).
  * debian/control: Bump debhelper dependency for dh_icons, to satisfy
    lintian.
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix IndexError crash if report does not have a
    Package field. Check whether we actually have attach_conffiles() (which is
    not the case when running the upstream version).
  * Merge trunk:
    - launchpad.py: Fix crash for unset titles.
    - Add segfault analysis hook for quick segv reviews. Thanks to Kees Cook!
    - run-tests: Replace hardcoded Python path with dynamically detected path.
