Bug Description
Running bzr selftest in Ubuntu 12.10, the following test seems to fail on every machine I have tried it on, always with the following error:
=======
FAIL: bzrlib.
-------
_StringException: Empty attachments:
log
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
stderr)
File "/usr/lib/
crash_filename = _write_
File "/usr/lib/
pr['Locale'] = os.environ.
File "/usr/lib/
and (hasattr(v[0], 'isalnum') or hasattr(v[0], 'read'))))
AssertionError
-------
Ran 27987 tests in 293.810s
FAILED (failures=1, known_failure_
2763 tests skipped
I created an lxc container (sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n bzr-test) and ran bzr selftest in there. It skips test_crash, due to the missing dependencies, but every test that is run passes happily. After installing apport and python-apport, test_crash runs, and fails. The included error report is from bzr selftest run inside that lxc container.
Quickest way to reproduce this is the following:
bzr selftest --one -s bzrlib.

Oh, actually I'm seeing two issues here. Apport wants a file opened in binary mode for pr.write, but it was also failing in my lxc container for a _second_ reason:
pr['Locale'] = os.environ.
That causes a crash in a minimal environment, with the LANG variable unset, because apparently python-apport's Report class doesn't like when we set an empty value.
There are a 4 other failing tests, with the qbzr and builddeb plugins, but at least those ones aren't in core bzr :)
