Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I ran 'sudo /usr/share/apport/apport-qt' with a test ubiquity crash. After saying I wanted to report the problem, I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-qt", line 285, in <module>
    app.run_argv()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/ui.py", line 183, in run_argv
    self.run_crashes()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/ui.py", line 101, in run_crashes
    self.run_crash(f)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/ui.py", line 151, in run_crash
    response = self.ui_present_report_details()
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-qt", line 196, in ui_present_report_details
    lines = self.report[key].splitlines()
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'splitlines'

I'll attach the report in question in a moment.

 apport (0.52) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * apport/report.py: Fix hook directory to be
     /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/, not /u/s/apport/.
   * Add doc/package-hooks.txt: Document per-package hooks, ship in package
     apport.
   * Add debian/apport.dirs: Ship package-hooks/ directory.
   * gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt: Fix detection of binary data so that the
     CoreDump is not displayed as incomprehensible gibberish any more.
   * Add qt4/apport-qt.desktop.in and add it to POTFILES.in.
   * bin/apport-retrace: --verbose can now be specified multiple times to
     increase verbosity and debug package installation. Also, fix some quoting
     bugs. Thanks to Kees Cook for this!
   * qt4/apport-qt: Fix restart button handling. (LP: #84202)
   * qt4/apport-qt: Do not try to call splitlines() on a report value that is a
     file reference; just display the reference instead. (LP: #84196)
   * bin/apport: Disable for now, since the current kernel produces cropped
     core dumps and thus we get totally useless crash reports
