Description Michael Catanzaro 2013-12-31 17:13:02 UTC
Description of problem: When reporting a crash, ABRT informs me that the stack trace is too large for the retrace server, shows me the size of the stack trace and the max size allowed by the retrace server, and asks if I want to generate a stack trace locally. I say Yes, acknowledging that it might download a large amount of data. Then ABRT pops up two identical dialogs claiming that the stack trace does not exist.  At the bottom of my journal I see:

Dec 31 11:01:33 victory-road gnome-session[1661]: '/var/tmp/abrt/ccpp-2013-12-31-10:50:45-2136' does not exist

Scrolling up I see:

Looks like ABRT is deleting old core dumps before saving a new one. It should at least not delete one that it's currently reporting a bug against.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:15:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2015-05-29 13:26:17 UTC
I think this has not been fixed, moving to F22.

Comment 3 Christian Stadelmann 2015-09-24 14:24:27 UTC
Still present on F23.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:27:53 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
