Additionally, this is a VirtualBox VM and I have a clone saved from before the bug reports were deleted.
It looks like that there are many problems in an inconsistent state on your disk. It is usually caused by an automatic disk cleaner or lack of disk space. Unfortunately, this kind of issue is unavoidable because ABRT relies on pure File System without any DBMS. Please remove the invalid problems manually to fix your issue and report the results here: $ sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/abrt $ rm -rf /home/grinnz/.cache/abrt/spool
This did remedy the issue, thank you. I do recall running out of disk space at one point (the disk for this VM is small) which is probably the cause. Perhaps ABRT should have a setting so it does not fill up the disk completely?
Actually ABRT have such a setting and it works fine unless something interrupts abrtd while cleaning the data (Shut down). In your case, it was probably combination of lack of disk space [1] and badly migrated problem data [2]. 1: missing 'time' file - perhaps systemd-tmpfiles removed it 2: missing 'type' file - old problems didn't have this file - a rpmscriplet should create this file but it didn't (lack of disk space?)
