I'm stil having this problem in one particular system, only with my normal user (not with the guest user or running apport with "sudo"). The user name is not strange, and I use it in a lot of other systems and apport does not produce this error.
I found a workaround by commenting out lines 1296 and 1297 of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/report.py. This seems to be some sort of problem with a regular expression in this line, similar to what is being discussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3675144/regex-error-nothing-to-repeat But what I don't understand is why I only get this error in one particular system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985049 Title: apport-cli crashed with error in _compile(): nothing to repeat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/985049/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
