Bug#266553: kget: it crashes at initialization stage (signal 11).
Package: kget
Version: 4:3.3.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #266553
Hello,
In my opinion, this bug has nothing to do with the config file as
reported earlier. It seems, that the root of the bug is usage of
an uninitialized variable. Just try launching kget several times one after
another. Most likely it'll fail with the error mentioned ealier in this
report, but eventually it'll start up emitting something similar to
these non-fatal errors:
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::destroyed() to QTipManager::clientWidgetDestroyed()
QObject::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::destroyed() to QTipManager::clientWidgetDestroyed()
I think, this is a right place to start tracking down the bug. I'll
continue my investiation later today.
P.S. strace provides some useful information, why kget gets signal 11.
Actually, a child process spawned by kget segfaults.
