Test Case --------- 1) Run /usr/share/apport/dump_acpi_tables.py 2) Observe the Traceback in comment #1 Additionally, running 'ubuntu-bug' about a package which calls attach_hardware (which then calls dump_acpi_tables.py) will have a Traceback in acpidump. 1) Run 'ubuntu-bug udev' 2) Save the report 3) View the report and see the Traceback from comment #1 in it With the version of the package from -proposed you will not receive a Traceback in either situation.
