RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
If abrt is called when the python-argparse package is not installed, it will throw an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/abrt-action-notify", line 18, in <module>
from argparse import ArgumentParser
ImportError: No module named argparse
causing another abrt call. This can result in thousands of emails. If the system has a package that has a listed dependency for python-argparse (or installed directly) then this issue doesn't occur.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt-2.0.8-34
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a default RHEL6 system that does not have python-argparse installed
2. Cause a segfault or other event that abrt cares about
3. Note that abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/libexec/abrt-action-generate-machine-id' appears in the log
4. Note that abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/bin/abrt-action-notify' appears in the log
5. Emails are sent notifying the admin of the problem of steps 3 and 4 which causes more emails.
Actual results:
abrt crashes with an exception while trying to notify the admin of an error
Expected results:
abrt notifies the admin of an error but does not crash itself
