Package: libglib2.0-0 Version: 2.24.2-1 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. 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 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. Iceweasel now 17.0 crashes when I attempt to download a file from it. Since I started using it in 2008 I have come to depend on gnucash for all my accounts. It is consequently critical that this bug be fixed as soon as possible. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libglib2.0-0 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages libglib2.0-0 recommends: ii libglib2.0-data 2.24.2-1 Common files for GLib library ii shared-mime-info 0.71-4 FreeDesktop.org shared MIME databa libglib2.0-0 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
