Item13547: Copy failed from system to Sandbox

How to repo

• Fresh Install fro tarbal
• go to PackageForm
• copy it to Sandbox
• go to SlideShowPlugin
• copy to Sandbox
• got page long error message about the copy-failed

Or simpler

• just try copy any topic from a System what has attachment to Sandbox
• like PatternSkinCss

Confirmed. The issue is caused by us shipping System with "empty history". The copy function attempts to copy the attachment history and crashes if it's missing.

Also, the traceback is presented to the user and is not logged. That leaks server information that should not be revealed. That alone is a blocker!

Error saving topic
