[Feisty]apport-retrace fails to retrace bugs.

Here is the log file.

Also i was getting hte dpkg error and i removed the lock file and it still does it.

You need to either install the missing packages manually (apport-retrace lists them) or run apport-retrace as root, or in a fakechroot with apport-chroot.

However, the error message could be cleaner, I'll beautify it a bit.

Thank you i will try it as root. Will that also fix the Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC (at the end) error?

While running as root i had it crash on me while setting up the packages. Here is the report attached.

Hm, I cannot reproduce the installation error. Does it happen with the option '-u', too?

'Better error message' part:

 apport (0.64) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add 'login' command.
   * bin/apport-chroot: Install apport-retrace into a newly created chroot.
   * Add debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Script to install local versions
     of apport, debootstrap, fake{,ch}root libraries, and a feisty apport
     fakechroot. This works OOTB on ronne's amd64 and i386 feisty chroots. The
     script is not shipped in any package yet, but it's convenient to ship it
     in revision control and in the source.
   * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted(): When calling an interpreter with a
     script name as argument, set ExecutablePath to the script instead of the
     interpreter. Add test case. (LP: #88794)
   * apport/report.py, search_bug_patterns(): Catch all exceptions from
     urlopen(), not just IOError. Sometimes this fails with funnier errors.
     (LP: #89589)
   * bin/apport-retrace: Give some additional explanation when installing
     packages fails. (LP: #89916)
   * apport/fileutils.py, get_all_{system_,}reports(): Fix file access race
     condition. (LP: #89977)
   * bin/apport-retrace: Add option -p/--extra-package to install an additional
     package for retracing. May be specified multiple times. Document new
     option in man/apport-retrace.1. (LP: #90077)
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add a similar option -p/--extra-package and install
     those in the 'create' command and simply pass it to apport-retrace in the
     'retrace' command. (LP: #90077)
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add a -v/--verbose option.
   * bin/apport-retrace: Do not complain about missing ddebs for Arch: all
     packages.

Setting to needsinfo now for the installation error part.

ok with the -u flag i keep getting WARNING: could not install missing packages: dpkg failed to unpack archives
I will upload the log file
The command im using is
(Feisty)gnomefreak@FeistyFawn:~$ sudo apport-retrace -s -v -u 86637 2>&1 | tee retrace.log

I have to admit I am clueless about this. It does not happen on my box nor the retracers in the chroot. Is this still an issue on current Feisty?

i will try as soon as possible and let you know.

Yes i am still seeing this problem in new apport in feisty. I will attach log file but not sure if it affected retrace or not it looks good but i will test on a few other bugs.

no longer seeing this problem and Feisty is up for EOS in OCT. Martin if you feel this should stay open please feel free to open it back up.
