Description of problem: TaskCoach cannot open my saved tasks file, which I've been using for nearly a year without any issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): taskcoach-0.72.5-1.fc11.i586 I've attached the file that cannot be opened. I have not altered this file in any way, I've only accessed it through TaskCoach.
i don't see any attachment .. may you reattach the file ?
Created attachment 345703 [details] Example TaskCoach tasks file that can no longer be opened This is text from a dial that pops-up when I try to open it.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Going by the stack trace, I think these upstream bugs represent the same issue: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2804418&group_id=130831&atid=719134 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2761466&group_id=130831&atid=719134 Upstream version 0.72.6 is supposed to fix the problem (by shipping with lockfile 0.8). As a workaround, to get at your data, you could try installing the upstream F11 rpm (currently 0.73.2-1) from http://www.taskcoach.org/download.html. I had to remove the old taskcoach explicitly (yum remove tasktoach). NB: the upstream installs itself as "taskcoach.py" rather than "taskcoach".
I had the same problem as the original reporter, and installing the latest upstream RPM (0.74.1-1) from the posted URL did solve the problem.
I have re-build 0.74.1 for Fedora and can open this file. http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/taskcoach/0.74.1/1.fc11/noarch/taskcoach-0.74.1-1.fc11.noarch.rpm Even if you have check rpm compiled on upstream side for distro, may you recheck this again ? Thanks,
Seems to work great. No problems from my end.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/taskcoach-0.74.1-1.fc11 is requested for update-testing. I am closing this for now .. if problem persist please reopen. Thanks,
taskcoach-0.74.1-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
