[Gramps-bugs] Error exporting to GRAMPS package (Kubuntu Feisty)

[J. A. C. <acr...@co...>]

User Information:
===================

I was attempting to export my database to a GRAMPS package because I
want to transfer the database with images to a laptop computer to use
on an upcoming trip.  This error occurs almost immediately after clicking
on OK to proceed on the Final confirmation window.

My GRDB file is approximately 36 MB with about 8400 names and I have
about 280 images.  No errors are detected if I do a check and repair
database.
