Bug description:
SRU test case:
- Modify /usr/bin/software-properties (or any other installed Python app
really, add these two lines right after the first one:
# coding: UTF-8
raise ValueError(u'♥')
- Run software-properties-gtk from a Terminal.
- Curent version: You will see the exception from this bug in
apport_python_hook.py, and no crash report generated.
- Fixed version: You just see the ValueError in the terminal, and
/var/crash/ gets a bug report generated.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Negligible. Both this new as well as several
already working cases are covered by tests.
