Bug#337213: kdesktop: SEGV due to previous unstable -> testing transition, missing audio related dependency
Package: kdesktop
Version: 4:3.4.2-4
Severity: grave
Hello all,
I found the new kde 3.4.2-4 testing packages in the archive yesterday,
thus I upgraded my 3.4.2-3 unstable packages (installed maybe 4 weeks ago before
I made the switch from unstable -> testing on this system).
On next KDE startup, the result was a nice kdesktop crash (KDE error handler) with a
backtrace that indicated audio related issues (sorry, didn't keep a copy of that backtrace),
and of course kdesktop was gone.
Since I strongly suspected audio package problems, I upgraded as many as I could find,
from:
Package: libaudio2
Version: 1.7-2
Package: libartsc0
Version: 1.4.2-4
Package: libarts1c2
Version: 1.4.2-4
Package: libaudiofile-dev
Version: 0.2.6-3
Package: libaudiofile0
Version: 0.2.6-3
to:
Package: libaudio2
Version: 1.7-3
Package: libartsc0
Version: 1.4.2-5
Package: libarts1c2
Version: 1.4.2-5
Package: libaudiofile-dev
Version: 0.2.6-6
Package: libaudiofile0
Version: 0.2.6-6
I upgraded those and *only* those, and the crash was gone.
IOW clearly a missing dependency issue (someone didn't expect me to upgrade an unstable
KDE to a newer testing KDE version ;).
Now if I knew which package exactly was causing this, then I'd be much wiser...
(I guess you might want to look at some C++ ABI transition in one/some of these packages?)
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
