Bug#934105: xfdesktop4: xfdesktop crashes and coredump when upgrading
Package: xfdesktop4
Version: 4.12.4-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
It's been some time that I experienced coredumps of xfdesktop and xfce4-panel
when upgrading.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Using sid, I usually run apt update and upgrade daily to keep system up-to-
date. But I've noticed that when upgrading is running, seems like usually when
post-install phases, desktop wallpaper and xfce4-panel flash and disappear and
then appear again. I first thought they were restarting due to some upgrade
packages related to them. But later I found they were indeed xfdesktop and
xfce4-panel crashes and I saw coredump files saved, weird thing is that this
happens even when the packages upgrading are not related to the desktop itself.
For example, today I only got google-chrome-stable updated and both xfdesktop
and xfce4-panel crashed and coredumped.
Below is what I got from journalctl -xe when xfdesktop crashed during google-
chrome-stable upgrade.
