Bug#368297: How to check if the application forgot to initialize Libgcrypt?
Whether the OpenLDAP code that depends on GnuTLS is in a separate process from the application or not, it might still need to set Libgcrypt thread support callbacks when it initializes GnuTLS. Werner Koch makes the point that ideally the application (nss-pam-ldapd or whatever) would initialize Libgcrypt. Meanwhile everyone seems to agree that a library which introduces an indirect dependency on Libgcrypt (i.e. GnuTLS) should be failsafe and initialize Libgcrypt itself if the application forgot to do that. Then how should it check if the application forgot to initialize Libgcrypt? Testing GCRYCTL_ANY_INITIALIZATION_P is consistent with Libgcrypt documentation... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#368297: Initializing Libgcrypt
I contributed a fix for the regression caused by the solution in Ubuntu [1]. The Python wrapper for the GnuTLS library doesn't initialize Libgcrypt properly. One addition to Carlos' analysis: The problem is that when OpenLDAP calls gnutls_global_init(), this function does nothing because OpenLDAP had previously already initialized libgcrypt at some point on the stack (probably by mistake). My understanding of Howard Chu in LP: #423252 comment #72 [2] is that OpenLDAP doesn't initialize Libgcrypt (it doesn't invoke gcry_check_version which the manual states must be invoked before any other function in the library, and which is correctly invoked by gnutls_global_init). OpenLDAP is required to initialize Libgcrypt's thread callbacks with GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS and prior to Libgcrypt version 1.3.X GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS didn't invoke global_init. So the solution in Ubuntu [3] is consistent with the Libgcrypt manual (gcry_check_version must be invoked before any other function in the library, with the exception of the GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS command) and with the original behavior of the library.

Bug#472849: more descriptive error
I was just bitten by this and it took me a while to locate this bug report. Could Rhythmbox please report a more descriptive warning to the user? For example, when I start Rhythmbox without python-gst, I simply get a warning that the cover art etc. failed to load. Could it please instead explain that the Python generic media-playing framework is not installed?
