Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I tried to file a bug for network-manager and found ubuntu-bug printing an error message about a crash:

hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_network-manager.py crashed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 640, in add_hooks_info
    symb['add_info'](self)
  File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_network-manager.py", line 48, in add_info
    report[key] = _device_details(device)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 494, in __setitem__
    assert k.replace('.', '').replace('-', '').replace('_', '').isalnum()
AssertionError

However, the dialog "Send problem report to the developers?" opens anyway.

I tried using other packages like gdm or firefox and it does not crash in that case. Also tried other package containing a dash - no problem. It seems, that network-manager is a special case...

Can be reproduced by typing
ubuntu-bug network-manager

reaffecting to network-manager. It seems like

    for interface, device in _network_interfaces().items():
        key = 'NetDevice.%s' % interface
        report[key] = _device_details(device)

needs some error handling to make sure the interface name is valid.

affects:	apport (Ubuntu) → network-manager (Ubuntu)

Martin, can you give us more information about the interfaces on your system? You don't appear to be running Ubuntu in a different localized environment, so the only thing I can think of is special interfaces like bridges set up on your system...

Please post the output of ifconfig -a, or ip addr list, or a similar command that will show the all device interface names n your system (eth0 and the like).

Thanks in advance!

Don't know what exactly you mean with "localized" environment.

I am in Austria (no free running kangaroos here ;-) ) but using Ubuntu in English - but with german keyboard layout.

BTW: Bug still occurs with Ubuntu Maverick nightly build from 09-23 with all updates applied:
hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_network-manager.py crashed:

And I am currently on WLAN (altough I have an eth0 builtin also - but it is not connected).
