So, anaconda has this thing called logpicker. Who knew, right?!

It's utils/logpicker (and all the stuff in utils/log_picker/) in the anaconda tree. It appears to have been committed in 2010 and mostly left alone since then.

Admittedly there's a lot of overlap with anaconda's GUI reporting of crashes via libreport. It would be kinda handy to use it to append logs to bugs in certain cases, though - when your bug is a dupe but the devs still want to see the logs, or when your bug is not actually a crash so libreport doesn't pick it up.

However, its Bugzilla reporting functionality is broken ATM. It looks like it's built on libreport, but libreport has changed a lot since it was written, and it just doesn't work any more.

log_picker/sending/__init__.py tries out each of the report functions, and if it doesn't work, basically suppresses it:

try:
    from log_picker.sending.bugzillasender import RedHatBugzilla
except (ImportError):
    NOT_AVAILABLE.append(RHBZ)

That appears to be what happens to the RHBZ function in current anaconda; if you run just 'logpicker' it is not shown in the help output, and if you try 'logpicker --bugzilla' or 'logpicker -b' you get 'no such option'.

If I try and run the test manually in a python env to see what the problem is I get roughly this:

python

import sys
import getpass
import log_picker

from log_picker.sending.bugzillasender import RedHatBugzilla
Traceback...
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/log_picker/sending/bugzillasender.py", line 4, in <module>
    from report.plugins.bugzilla import filer
ImportError: No module named plugins.bugzilla

Indeed, if you look in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/report , the thing it's trying to import just doesn't appear to exist any more. I don't know libreport well enough to know what it should be doing instead, but it seems clear it ought to be doing...something else.

I don't know if we want to fix this or just declare it dead and maybe enhance the libreport stuff in anaconda proper a bit, I'll leave that up to you folks.
