Bug#910853: qgis: Crashes on attempt to use Python console

[Shai Berger]

Package: qgis
Version: 2.18.24+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Open qgis. Click the python console symbol. In the console which
opens, start typing -- I tried to type "help(iface)" as the 
console recommends, and the program crashed before I could
finish.
