Description Milos Malik 2012-02-17 14:49:59 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setroubleshoot-plugins-2.0.4-2.el5
setroubleshoot-server-2.0.5-5.el5_8.1
setroubleshoot-2.0.5-5.el5_8.1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a RHEL-5.8 machine
2. log into X session as common user
3. run "sealert -a /tmp/missing" (where /tmp/missing does not exist)


Actual results
==============
$ rm -f /tmp/missing
$ sealert -a /tmp/missing

Opps, sealert hit an error!

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sealert", line 968, in ?

    return fmt.format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 405, in format
    record.message = record.getMessage()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 276, in getMessage
    msg = msg % self.args
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


Expected results
================
* sealert prints an error message which explains that the file does not exist
* no traceback

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the

representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
