Hi Sebastien, thanks for your explanation. Unfortunately I am still having problems.
Here's what I took from your instructions. Steps I added myself to overcome problems encountered are in square brackets: - Run first line in terminal - Run second line in terminal - Make a new file with the contents of that link and put it in /gvfs-1.18.2/debian/patches - Add the name of this new file as a new line in /gvfs-1.18.2/debian/ptches/series - [cd to gvfs-1.18.2 because I was getting error about not finding Debian change log.] - [run "sudo apt-get install devscripts" from terminal because I was didn't have the 'dch' command.] - [installed "GnuPG keys of Debian Developers" from software centre because I was getting errors some key errors somewhere]. - Run "dch -i 'attempt to fix Launchpad bug number 1210852'" in terminal - [Edit changelog so that last edit appears signed by a previous editor (you incidentally) instead of me because I was getting an error after running debuild about my signature not containing a valid email address.] - Run "sudo apt-get build-dep gvfs" in terminal. - Run "debuild" in terminal. Along the way I get a few "warning"s along the way but the way (one common one being "warning: Can't extract name and version from library name `libgvfscommon.so'" ) but the script continues until it finally ends with: " dpkg-genchanges >../gvfs_1.18.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.changes dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload dpkg-source --after-build gvfs-1.18.2 dpkg-source: info: unapplying 1210852.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying ref-jobs-in-thread.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying handle-inactive-vfs.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying dont-crash-on-null-job.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying metadata-nuke-junk-data.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying metadata-dont-flush-null-tree.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 06_metadata_nfs.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 05_shared_libdaemon.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 04_hurd_path_max.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 01_modules_dir.patch dpkg-buildpackage: binary and diff upload (original source NOT included) Now running lintian...

It does leave a bunch of .deb packages on my computer but running them just opens the software centre which displays messages such as "Breaks existing package 'gvfs-backends' dependency gvfs (= 1.18.2-0ubuntu1) Error". I have attempted resolving these issues myself to no avail. Any pointers? P.S. Am I treating Launchpad too much like a forum bothering you guys with these questions here? Would I be better off presenting this to Ask Ubuntu or something? -- 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 Status in “gvfs” source package in Saucy: Triaged 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.
