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.
*** Bug 170229 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reassigned randomly to a component which is still shipped, unlike system-config-packages which is replaced by pirut.
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.
As far as I know, the latest Fedora releases do not have a backtrace report mechanism in the installer.
