[ubuntu-dev] Bug#714337: gdebi-core: Exception handling in GDebiCli.py causes another exception

[Jim Garrison]

Package: gdebi-core
Version: 0.9
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

There is an exception path on line 132 of GDebiCli.py that references
a variable, "res", that will not be set if the exception is triggered.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/gdebi", line 118, in <module>
        sys.exit(debi.install())
      File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiCli.py", line 132, in install
        logging.debug("commit() returned %s" % res)
    UnboundLocalError: local variable 'res' referenced before assignment

This bug also seems to exist upstream, if upstream is indeed located at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gdebi-developers/gdebi/trunk/view/head:/GDebi/GDebiCli.py#L132
