Description of problem: ABRT has been reporting this almost every day recently. I can't send a bug report through it as it says the backtrace is unusable (the Smolt profile collecting fails with signal 9 too which 'smells' as Smolt bug). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0.2-8.fc17 How reproducible: I don't know the reason. At first I thought it might be if I suspended when mandb was running but I see that it happens independent of that. For instance today /var/log/cron says .

I deleted the ABRT entry, but if anyone likes then next time I copy whatever ABRT has to say about it.
Please do, maybe there will be something useful. From this information it is really hard to find the cause of this error. Thanks, peter
I found there was some info in ~/.abrt http://fpaste.org/4Btu/ Above was from 22 Aug, below was from 20 Aug: http://fpaste.org/DOzO/
Thanks. Could you upload here /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2012-08-22-06:46:26-1345 coredump (if you still have it)? peter

Could you upload here /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2012-08-22-06:46:26-1345 > coredump (if you still have it)? > > peter Unfortunately that was deleted (actually I clicked to delete in abrt-gui, then polkit's authentication password box came up, I thought better, cancelled but it deleted all the same). Today (24) it didn't give any error (and yesterday I didn't use the PC).
OK. If you see the error again, please upload the coredump. That would be a great help. Thanks, peter
I reported via abrt-cli at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855632 (abrt-gui is very buggy here)
