[Bug 590887] [NEW] btraceback utility doesn't work

[Tomasz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bacula
Version: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1

The package provides btraceback utility, which sends an email with trace
by mail. It is installed in /usr/sbin/btraceback. When bacula crashes,
it prints to console:

# cmdline and args taken from /etc/init.d/bacula-dir
$ /usr/sbin/bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -u bacula -g bacula -d 200 -dt -f -m -v 
bacula-dir: dird.c:184-0 Debug level = 200
07-cze-2010 19:20:44 bacula-dir: dird.c:184-0 Debug level = 200
(...)
Bacula interrupted by signal 11: Segmentation violation
Kaboom! bacula-dir, magazyn-dir got signal 11 - Segmentation violation. Attempting traceback.
Kaboom! exepath=/usr/sbin/
Calling: /usr/sbin/btraceback /usr/sbin/bacula-dir 13467 /var/lib/bacula

and should send an email with details. Unfortunately, the email looks
like this:

ptrace: Operation not permitted.
/var/lib/bacula/13467: No such file or directory.
$1 = 0
/etc/bacula/scripts/btraceback.gdb:2: Error in sourced command file:
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
