Bug#719874: phonon-backend-vlc causes Knotify to crash at the boot up of Debian '7' Stable + KDE

[J4R0K4 <j4r0k4@gmail.com>]

Package: phonon-backend-vlc
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear Maintainer,
I have found that phonon-backend-vlc causes to crash Knotify 1 of 2 times I
boot up my computer with Debian 7 Stable + KDE 4.8. My system is up-to-date and
is a relative clean install.

When I boot up the system, KDE remains too long to completely start up and then
it shows the KDE bug report message saying that Knotify has crashed. After
that, I can close the bug report and the system appears to work without
problems. The problem is that 1 of 2 times I boot up Debian Stable, KDE take
more time to completely boot up and then the first thing that the system shows
me is an error saying that Knotify has crashed.

Reading the KDE bug report of Knotify I realized that the problem is phonon-
backend-vlc, because if I use phonon-backend-gstreamer there is no problem
anymore.


If I can help you please tell me.
Thanks you for your attention, regards.
