After I did a chmod +r *.gpg in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ I was surprised to see that apport-retrace was still crashing:
Checking the stacktrace showed it's because it's happening while trying to read not gpg file but "gpg~" file ls -l *.gpg~ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 juil. 16 11:39 cairo-dock-team-ppa.gpg~ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 juil. 19 13:02 ehoover-compholio.gpg~ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 août 22 13:55 mqchael-pipelight.gpg~ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 juil. 17 05:01 unity-webapps-feedly-stable.gpg~ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 août 20 14:43 videolan-master-daily.gpg~ -rwx--x--x 1 root root 0 juin 26 18:14 webupd8team-java.gpg~ I think one patch is to ignore those file and only read .gpg file, and in a second time make sure the gpg file are readable. I don't know why those file are there in the first place and if there is a good reason for it as they are empty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188588 Title: apport-retrace crashed with Error in copytree(): [('/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg~', '/home/username/.cache/apport/retrace/system/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d /username-evolution-3_8.gpg~', "[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg~'"), ('/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg', '/home/username/.cache/apport/retrace/system/apt/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d /username-evolution-3_8.gpg', "[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/username-evolution-3_8.gpg'")] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1188588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
