[Python-apps-team] Bug#914025: mugshot: mushot raises a Python exception at launch time

[Enzo Calamia]

Package: mugshot
Version: 0.3.1-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

When the program mugshot is executed, it raises an 'AttributeError' so the
program shuts immediately. Here is the traceback I get when I run the program
from the shell:

% mugshot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mugshot", line 36, in <module>
    mugshot.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/__init__.py", line 47, in main
    window = MugshotWindow.MugshotWindow()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot_lib/Window.py", line 52, in
__new__
    new_object.finish_initializing(builder)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py", line 228, in

    self.init_user_details()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py", line 271, in

    user_details = self.get_user_details()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py", line 654, in
get_user_details
    as_data = self.get_accounts_service_data()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py", line 706, in
get_accounts_service_data
    name = self.split_name(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py", line 686, in
split_name
    parts = name.split()
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'split'
zsh: exit 1     mugshot


Thank you very much for your time to make Debian better!
