Package: celestia
Version: 1.3.2-4
Severity: grave
Celestia crashes on start-up. This applies whether I start from the Gnome menus or from command line, and whether I use celestia, celestia-gnome or celestia-glut as the command. 

Here's the output from running celestia from a terminal window:

nStars: 112524

DCOP aborting (delayed) call from 'anonymous-29184' to 'celestia'
celestia: ERROR: Communication problem with celestia, it probably crashed.
Similar error for celestia-gnome, but less informative - just says "Segmentation fault" at end instead of "DCOP aborting..." etc.
Running 2.6.18-1-686, Xorg 7.1, ATI graphics card with fglrx driver (OpenGL is working). 

If you need any more details then please let me know.

Thanks,

John

Sorry, I can't reproduce this.  It might be related to the video driver;
does it work if you install libgl1-mesa-swx11?

Also, does 1.3.2-3.3 work?  If you don't have it in /var/cache/apt, you
can get it from <http://snapshot.debian.net/package/celestia/>.

Thanks,

Matej
Having checked using the radeon driver, it appears this is indeed a driver issue, so I'm closing this bug (and wishing I'd bought a different graphics card. Grrrr!) 

Thanks,

John
