Package: evince
Version: 2.30.1-2
Severity: normal
Evince segfaulted every time I tried to run it. So I created a new user
to be sure no settings were messed up, and the same thing still
happened:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
t...@saturn:~$ evince invoices_34551_1273669464.pdf
** (evince:18898): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error
opening file '/home/test/.gnome2/evince/last_settings': No such file or
directory
Segmentation fault
t...@saturn:~$
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Next I ran the same command under strace and the last few lines looked
interesting:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
t...@saturn:~$ strace evince invoices_34551_1273669464.pdf
[snip]
lstat64("/home/test/.gnome2/evince/last_settings", 0xbfd4e82c) = -1

open("/home/test/.gnome2/evince/last_settings",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
write(2, "\n** (evince:18968): WARNING **: "..., 156
** (evince:18968): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error

) = 156
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

Segmentation fault
t...@saturn:~$
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After manually creating the .gnome2/evince/ directory, evince started up
just fine:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
t...@saturn:~$ mkdir .gnome2/evince
t...@saturn:~$ evince invoices_34551_1273669464.pdf
t...@saturn:~$
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm running up-to-date testing.
Let me know if you need any further information; I'll be glad to help if
I can.
Thanks,
James Dietrich
