It's likely that the required Launchpad cookie is missing. I, for myself, had to create a cookie text file, containing the "lp" and "edge" cookie, using the curl method described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess/ppaput. That won't help you with the current requestsync, because it only uses the old-style Firefox cookies (~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.txt).
Try changing the following line in /usr/bin/requestsync from: cookiefile = glob.glob(os.path.expanduser('~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.txt'))[0] to: cookiefile = glob.glob(os.path.expanduser('~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.sqlite'))[0] and make sure, that you're logged into launchpad.net and edge.launchpad.net (if you're member of the launchpad-beta team). But, as I've just seen on my system, that might also not work correctly: $ ls -1 ~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.sqlite /home/daniel/.mozilla/firefox-3.0..abandoned/4cz7eaqf.default/cookies.sqlite /home/daniel/.mozilla/firefox/4cz7eaqf.default/cookies.sqlite The first match looks like some obsolete profile, which you might not have access to easily. I have a local branch, where requestsync tries the following globs for setting the required cookie file: 1. ~/.lpcookie 2. ~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.sqlite 3. ~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.txt ** Changed in: ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel Hahler (blueyed) Status: New => Incomplete ** Visibility changed to: Public ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools I was trying to request a sync using requestsync with python-launchpad- bugs (--lp). I edited the report, it asked if I want to send it, I answered yes, and it crashed.
