Title:
apport-collect crash when sending log file and using a non-English
locale ("TypeError: 'unicode' does not have the buffer interface")
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the process of updating #1030151 I was hit by a bug in apport-collect.
When doing
apport-collect 1030151
in a root console the apport-collect would crash with following trace back :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 587, in <module>
app.run_argv()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 634, in run_argv
return self.run_update_report()

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 44, in

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/gzip.py", line 131, in __init__
self._write_gzip_header()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/gzip.py", line 176, in _write_gzip_header
self.fileobj.write(fname + '\000')
TypeError: 'unicode' does not have the buffer interface
Calling apport-collect with LC_ALL=C or LANG=C as suggest by Edward
Donovan didn't solve the issue.
I used this workaround : in
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/problem_report.py I replaced line 50 :
gzip.GzipFile(self.name, mode='wb', fileobj=out).write(value)
by :
gzip.GzipFile(self.name.encode('UTF-8'), mode='wb',
fileobj=out).write(value.encode('UTF-8'))
It's a quick and dirty hack but maybe it will help the developpers to
trully solve the issue.
Cheers !
