[Bug 1107464] [NEW] selftest fails in Ubuntu 12.10 with test_apport_report

[Dylan McCall]

Public bug reported:

Running bzr selftest in Ubuntu 12.10, the following test seems to fail
on every machine I have tried it on, always with the following error:

======================================================================
FAIL: bzrlib.tests.test_crash.TestApportReporting.test_apport_report
----------------------------------------------------------------------
_StringException: Empty attachments:
  log

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/tests/test_crash.py", line 57, in test_apport_report
    stderr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/crash.py", line 127, in report_bug_to_apport
    crash_filename = _write_apport_report_to_file(exc_info)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/crash.py", line 173, in _write_apport_report_to_file
    pr['Locale'] = os.environ.get('LANG')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 567, in __setitem__
    and (hasattr(v[0], 'isalnum') or hasattr(v[0], 'read'))))
AssertionError

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 27987 tests in 293.810s

FAILED (failures=1, known_failure_count=59)
2763 tests skipped

I created an lxc container (sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n bzr-test) and
ran bzr selftest in there. It skips test_crash, due to the missing
dependencies, but every test that is run passes happily. After
installing apport and python-apport, test_crash runs, and fails. The
included error report is from bzr selftest run inside that lxc
container.

Quickest way to reproduce this is the following:
bzr selftest --one -s bzrlib.tests.test_crash
