[Bug 409130] [NEW] launching backintime fails to start

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Iulian Udrea (iulian):

running "Back In Time (root) from applications -> System Tools the
window appears and dissappears and fails to start

Running it from the CLI I get the following traceback:

Back In Time
Version: 0.9.26

Back In Time comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py", line 1056, in <module>
    main_window = MainWindow( cfg, app_instance )
  File "/usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py", line 281, in __init__
    self.update_all( True )
  File "/usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py", line 388, in update_all
    self.update_folder_view( 1, selected_file, show_snapshots )
  File "/usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py", line 1000, in update_folder_view
    new_iter = self.store_folder_view.append( [ item[0], rel_path, item[3], item[5], item[1], item[2], item[4] ] )
TypeError: value is of wrong type for this column


Wrapping try/except around line 1000 prevents the error and it starts correctly.
