Ok, well I went ahead with 'sudo dpkg -i' for each .deb file. Some depended on others so I had to install certain .deb files first. The terminal outputs made it clear which ones. I also had to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' before installing 'gvfs_1.18.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb' because of an error that was coming up. Just outlining exactly what I did for any other novices trying to follow.
They seemed to install fine, however after all this the problem is not fixed. Apport no longer opens with a crash like before but the image doesn't successfully paste either. Instead the loading circle cursor thing just hangs indefinitely. I still get '** (abiword:3572): CRITICAL **: char* UT_go_url_resolve_relative(const char*, const char*): assertion 'ref_uri != NULL' failed' when running from the terminal. So my guess is that the 'fix' doesn't actually address the error as Sebastien Bacher suggested, but rather just stops it being registered as a crash... Not very helpful for me. Would it be worth me filing a new bug report based on the Terminal output pasted above? -- 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.
