Package: widelands
Version: 1:18-3+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello, I have found a bug that seems to be specific to this build on debian
amd64
testing ("stretch"). I did not test other packages but I built the game myself
from
source and so far I had no problems.
What happens is that once the first song ends (intro+menu songs I assume from
the
file names on the console output) the game crashes, literally exiting the game
without any sort of error message except on the console:
*** Error in `widelands': double free or corruption (fasttop):
0x0000000001c05b70 ***
Aborted
This happened indepedently of if I wait for the song to finish on the main menu
or if I was in-game.
After reading Bug #1220546 (on Widelands' Launchpad) I decided to compile my own
version from the source-code of Build 18. As mentioned in the bug report I made
sure to update the libboost and a few other packages to their Debian-testing
versions. Unfortunately though many of the dependencies I used to compile
are from squezze (oldstable) since my setup is a bit awkward at the moment -
libsdl1.2*, for example.
Since this is the same source code I assume is being used in the .deb package I
reason that this binary package was compiled with older libboost libraries
and that a simple recompile could solve the issue.
I hope this helps in fixing the problem because as-is this package is useless:
you can only play for about a minute or two before the game crashes. I'm not
sure if turning off the music would solve anything.
Anyway thank you for the great game and please make sure that this doesn't
happen on the recent Debian stable release or you will probably discourage
many people from trying out the game. Oh well, I just checked that and both
testing and stable seem to be at version "1:18-3+b1" (amd64) which is a bit
worrisome, especially if a simple recompile could solve this.

Closing the bug since it could not be reproduced. Seems to be an issue only
on my environment (I'm the original reporter). See the bug history for
more details.
