Package: gramps Version: 4.0.4+dfsg-1 This is a report of the same bug which I accidentally filed upstream:
https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=7872 I'm receiving this traceback: 38710: ERROR: grampsapp.py: line 114: Unhandled exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gramps/plugins/view/mediaview.py", line 189, in drag_data_received clean_string = conv_to_unicode( NameError: global name 'conv_to_unicode' is not defined when doing the following: 1. Open the media tab. 2. Drag-and-drop a photo (for me a JPG) from the system file browser into the media list Expected behavior: Dialog for adding a new media object invoked Observed behavior: Uncaught exception As said in the ticket, it looks like it's just a missing import problem. The conv_to_unicode() function appears to live in gramps.gen.constfunc. I'll caution I was using the 4.0.4 package in the backports for Ubuntu 14.04. I have checked out Debian's 4.0.4+dfsg-1 source package and it appears to be missing the same imports, and I didn't see a patch or issue for it. Upstream said they have this fix in a later version. Thanks, let me know if I can be of help. Sorry if this is not the proper place.
