Title:
hookutils.py usage of startswith() assumes strings, but objects are
bytes
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Bug 1190526 has an associated HookError_ubuntu.txt containing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 197, in

if contents == '[deleted]' or contents.startswith('[inaccessible'):
TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str
The python3-specific problem seems to be that startswith() is expecting a
value of the same type as 'contents'. The code assumes contents is a string,
but its is a byte tuple.
A fix therefore might be "b'[inaccessible'" like this:
if contents == '[deleted]' or
contents.startswith(b'[inaccessible'):
However, I haven't checked all other instances of startswith().
