A problem occurred in a Python script.  Here is the sequence of
function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

The above is a description of an error in a Python program.  Here is
the original traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/umit/umit/gui/Wizard.py", line 367, in save_profile
    cmd = command % target
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

[diogo]

The patch that i submitted, shows a popup message when the command is wrong, avoiding that the program exits with an exception.

[luis]

The ticket is not closed yet. It should be closed when a proper solution was commited in repository and then linked with the ticket.

[getxsick]

Could you please do not mix tabs/space indents?

[diogo]

Replying to getxsick:

Could you please do not mix tabs/space indents?

Now the patch only have space indents.

[diogo]

Steps to reproduce the bug:

NMap Command Constructor Wizard -> Novice -> Command (insert some target)

Select options "Ports to Scan" and write "%s" as the port number. In the final of the wizard when applying, the bug happens.

[luis]

The patch was already tested and it is working. Can you do commit?

[diogo]

Patch applied
