I'm still having this issue in the same system now updated to raring. My
workaround is to comment out the "if" statement at the line number
mentioned at the end of the traceback reported. In my last case I get
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/sre_parse.py", line 557, in _parse
raise error("nothing to repeat")
sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat
as the last three lines before apport stopped. So I edited
"/usr/lib/python3.3/sre_parse.py" and commented out lines 556 and 557,
which now look as follows
# if not item or (_len(item) == 1 and item[0][0] == AT):
# raise error("nothing to repeat")
Still curious to know what causes this issue, I've tried purging apport,
crash reports, but to no avail, I always get the above error as soon as
apport or python get some update.
