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.tests.test_crash.TestApportReporting.test_apport_report
----------------------------------------------------------------------
_StringException: Empty attachments:

Ran 27987 tests in 293.810s

FAILED (failures=1, known_failure_count=59)
2763 tests skipped

I created an lxc container (sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n bzr-test) and ran bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess 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.
