I am pretty much convinced that the problem is not in Debian itself, but in one of the various sources that you added. Unless you can reproduce the problem on a pure Squeeze system (I personally could not), I will close this bug in a few weeks. Are you seriously suggesting that I should remove all packages which are not sourced from Debian Squeeze stable, if that is what your mean by a pure Squeeze system? If so you are asking me to remove my whole desktop environment. What evidence do you have that the problem lies is use of those packages? For at least three weeks all those what you call non-Debian packages and Gnucash were all working together until 2013-01-03, the day when both Gnucash and hardinfo would not load because of a segmentation error. The last day I was able to use Gnucash was 2013-01-01. Consequently what evidence there is strongly indicates that between those two dates something was done on my computer which caused those segmentation errors, and I need to find out what, with whatever help and support I can garner. You indicated that you were able to have Gnucash 2.4.10-2 from squeeze-backports opening properly. I was not however using that version when the bug I reported occurred. As I have already stated that bug occurred when I was still using Gnucash 2.2.9-10 from Squeeze main and inherited from lenny-backports. It was only *after* I discovered the bug with version 2.2.9-10 that I removed 2.2.9-10 and installed 2.4.10-2. When I tried to open that version it returned the same segmentation error. I had asked you whether you tried to replicate the problem I described using 2.2.9-10. You did not answer that question. I had also mentioned that the version of Iceweasel I had installed, 17.0, crashed whenever I tried to download a file with it. I cannot understand why you claim that this version does not exist in Squeeze when I clearly got it from squeeze-backports. In any event I removed it and instead installed version 10.0.11esr-1~bpo60+1. With this version the crash problem disappeared.

For at least three weeks all those what you call non-Debian packages and Gnucash were all working together until 2013-01-03, the day when both Gnucash and hardinfo would not load because of a segmentation error. I could turn your question around: what evidence do you have that the problem comes from Debian, given the large number of non-Debian packages that you have installed, and given the fact that I cannot reproduce your problem? You indicated that you were able to have Gnucash 2.4.10-2 from squeeze-backports opening properly. I was not however using that version when the bug I reported occurred.

I had asked you whether you tried to replicate the problem I described using 2.2.9-10. You did not answer that question. I confirm that on a pure and up-to-date Squeeze system, I can launch GnuCash 2.2.9-10 fine. I had also mentioned that the version of Iceweasel I had installed, 17.0, crashed whenever I tried to download a file with it. I cannot understand why you claim that this version does not exist in Squeeze when I clearly got it from squeeze-backports. No, it comes from this unofficial repository: http://mozilla.debian.net/ Note that even though this repository is run by a Debian Developer, it is not an official repository of the Debian project, and therefore is unsupported by Debian. As a general rule, anything that is not hosted on debian.org is not part of Debian (in particular, stuff on debian.net is *not* part of Debian).

Such bug reports should not be directed to the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS), as explained on this page: http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/ Normally I would have closed this bug report for that reason. Since the problem you describe seems to also affect the version of gnucash in stable, I leave it open for now. Indeed it does. I first noted this critical bug when I was using the version of gnucash in Squeeze stable. It was only after I discovered it there that I decided to try the version of gnucash in squeeze-backports and discovered that that version is broken for me as well. After I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze on 2012-11-30 the Squeeze main repository kept the version of gnucash which I had previously installed from lenny-backports, 2.2.9-10. You must be mislead here. Gnucash is not in lenny-backports AFAIK. Version 2.2.9-10 is the version in squeeze (stable). My statement is correct. The gnucash version in lenny-backports, which I have been using since it first appeared there, is the same one which is in Squeeze stable. When one month ago I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze, gnucash was not upgraded. That gnucash version calls for libglib2.0-0 version 2.24.0 or higher, which I assume was the version originally in the Squeeze main repository, and probably in lenny-backports as well. In any event I was able to use that version of gnucash until 2013-01-01. Later that same day I installed a number of new packages, and also some security fixes. The following day I was unable to open gnucash. Instead I received the following error message when I tried to open it in a terminal emulator: Gnu.bin – Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time. Segmentation fault. I then checked the packages installed or upgraded on 2013-01-01; there was only one which gnucash uses -- libglib2.0-0 version 2.24.2-1 This version is now the one in the Squeeze main repository. I consequently can only assume that gnucash will not load with this version of that package, although the gnucash dependency list says the it will work with versions 2.24.0 and higher. I also tried to use the version of gnucash from squeeze-backports, 2.4.10-2, but it does not work either and returns the same segmentation fault message. I tried to replicate your problem: more precisely I installed the most recent gnucash backport from squeeze-backports on a up-to-date squeeze system, and everything works fine. I really doubt that your problem comes from libglib2.0-0. Something else must be broken on your system. As I already stated I found this bug when I was still using the Squeeze stable version. You say you were able to open the squeeze-backports version, but did you try to open the Squeeze stable version? If we can find out why the Squeeze stable version is broken, it will perhaps help us to find out why I cannot open the squeeze-backports version; whereas you can. I have in addition since 2013-01-01 found problems with other packages which use libglib2.0-0. Package hardinfo now returns a segmentation fault. Iceweasel now 17.0 crashes when I attempt to download a file from it. Where did you get Iceweasel 17.0 from? It is not in squeeze nor in squeeze-backports. That is odd, because running apt-cache search -t squeeze-backports iceweasel shows that it is there; so that is where I must have found it. Maybe your system is broken because you mixed packages coming different (incompatible) sources.

Package: gnucash Version: 1:2.4.10-2~bpo60+1 Severity: important After I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze on 2012-11-30 the Squeeze main repository kept the version of gnucash which I had previously installed from lenny-backports, 2.2.9-10.

I also tried to use the version of gnucash from squeeze-backports, 2.4.10-2, but it does not work either and returns the same segmentation fault message. I recall that in 2010, when I was upgrading from Etch to Lenny and at the same time upgrading gnucash 2.2.9 from an earlier version. On that occasion I had to recompile gnucash. I have in addition since 2013-01-01 found problems with other packages which use libglib2.0-0. Package hardinfo now returns a segmentation fault.
