I reproduced the bug with apport-retrace easily. Bug happens when using the apport-retrace sandbox. For some reason, sometimes, some of the gpg keys in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ are only readable by root..
I would propose to patch by changing the loop line 179 in shutil.py. I would add this check line 182: if not os.access(name, os.R_OK): continue This will prevent to try to copy file when we dont' have read permissions for them. But there will probably have still have an issue if those keys are the one we need for the debugging symbols. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188588 Title: apport-retrace crashed with Error in copytree(): [('/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg~', '/home/username/.cache/apport/retrace/system/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d /username-evolution-3_8.gpg~', "[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg~'"), ('/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg', '/home/username/.cache/apport/retrace/system/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d /username-evolution-3_8.gpg', "[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg'")] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1188588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
