@Christopher, Gulliver: I'm not sure why you want that specific fix backported?
Reading the SRU description which was added, it seems you might think the fix would resolve issue it probably doesn't. The change is to fix an error handling, having the fix wouldn't fix the fact that gvfs hits an error, it would just avoid triggering apport on it. In any case no need to update gvfs to get the fix for that segfault, the commit is a one liner https://git.gnome.org/browse/gvfs/commit/?h=gnome-3-10&id=de8ad26c71e14a15a3c5eeb05a73033dfccc8d85 Which should be easy to apply to the saucy version/SRU. Could you try to build a package with it and see if that indeed fixes your issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210852 Title: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free() Status in GVFS: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Trying to get this backported so attempting to follow the SRU Procedure as outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure [Impact] * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users This bug stops users of Abiword in Xubuntu copy and pasting pictures from Firefox. Maybe other sources too? Text pastes fine. Libreoffice is unaffected. * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release. Copy and pasting pictures is surely a very basic feature of any word processor and Abiword is bundled as the default in Xubuntu. Additionally I have detected this bug on multiple versions of Xubuntu (13.10 64-bit, 13.10 32-bit and a 12.04 ?-bit - 100% of the machines I have tested it on). * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. No idea [Test Case] * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. Simply open Abiword on a Xubuntu machine, find an image from Google images on Firefox and copy and paste by any method into the document. It has on occasion successfully pasted the image although most of the time it seems to fail. I do not know what factors cause fail/success. [Regression Potential] I am unable to comment on this personally.
