Description Matt T. Proud 2005-10-09 16:52:12 UTC
Description of problem:
This bug has just been filed under this component, because I remember this 
utility crashing considerably during system installations; but the concept 
should apply to all of Fedora's Python-power utilities.

When a Python-powered Fedora configuration utility crashes, it just gives one 
the option the debug or to examine a backtrace. It might be useful if, upon a 
crash, the application could use some mechanism similar to GNOME's Bugbuddy 
infrastructure to allow for bug reporting, including the backtrace and useful 
variables, back to the Fedora project.

Additional info:
If this would help cut-down on the number of spurious problems encountered in 
the configuration utilities, great; it is necessary for the project.

Comment 2 John Thacker 2006-04-22 01:31:06 UTC
Reassigned randomly to a component which is still shipped, unlike
system-config-packages which is replaced by pirut.

Comment 3 Christian Iseli 2007-01-22 10:17:25 UTC
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

Comment 4 Matt T. Proud 2007-01-22 16:53:10 UTC
As far as I know, the latest Fedora releases do not have a backtrace report
mechanism in the installer.

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

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