[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#1144157: Bug#1144157: onionshare: AttributeError: 'ShareModeWeb' object has no attribute 'gzip_filesize

Hey,

I cannot reproduce you issue. If I try to share files with uptodate sid it 
works without any issues. Additionally I see no 500s in the logs. Can you run 
onionshare -v and provide the log? You can also try to use
onionshare-cli -v FILES
that should reduce the logs to a bare minimum. Keep in mind, that in the logs 
the filenames are shared. 
How big are the files you try to share? As onionshare compresses the files.

For me it looks like you have a bot targeting your onionservice before it is 
ready and that's why gzip_filesize isn't already set. Because from the code 
paths gzip_filesize should be set after the compression step is done.

Regards,

hefee
