[Spacewalk-list] SW 1.9 abrt crash upload fails

[Pierre Casenove]

Hello list,
I've upgraded my spacewalk server to version 1.9 (rhel 5 pgsql).
I've updated spacewalk client binairies on a test client, and installed
spacewalk-abrt package.
I've rebooted both the server and the client.

To test abrt crash upload functionnality, i've launched the following
compex script in background:
#!/bin/bash

while :
do
   sleep 1
done

Than, I killed it using kill -SIGSEGV 3952

As expected, abrt detected the crash... but then spacewalk crashed!

In up2date log, I have:
<class 'up2date_client.up2dateErrors.CommunicationError'>: Error
communicating with server. The message was:
While running 'abrt.create_crash': caught
exceptions.TypeError : expected a character buffer object


I've checked httpd error log, I found this:

What am I doing wrong?
