You shouldn't remove /var/cache/abrt-di/ but only the content of it. In order to make this work again you need to either reinstall abrt packages or as root do: $ mkdir /var/cache/abrt-di $ chown abrt:abrt /var/cache/abrt-di

I was thinking abrt-gui would recreate it, but it doesn't have root permissions: $ touch /var/cache/foo touch: cannot touch `/var/cache/foo': Permission denied This is not really a bug then, although maybe the message could say that /var/cache/abrt-di could not be created because of "Permission denied".
BTW, I habitually remove cache directories with: $ sudo rm -r foo_cache Maybe that is a bad habit ... :-)
Yes, we should catch that exception and print a better message...

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
