Bug#434499: balsa: Balsa crashes when opening mailboxes or while composing mail

2007-08-03 Thread Pierre M.
Package: balsa
Version: 2.3.17-1
Followup-For: Bug #434499

Hello all,

I'm Joe User of Debian Testing and I use Balsa.
Balsa has stopped working (it crashes) for some days when opening a mailbox 
(even an empty one) or while composing a new message.

I launch Balsa via an xterm : balsa 

I somethimes get :
(balsa:3453): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified instance size for type 
`LibBalsaMimeStreamShared' is smaller than the parent type's `GMimeStreamFs' 
instance size
libbalsa_lock_file(): fcntl errno 9.

Other try provides :
(balsa:3512): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xb08)!

I'm not a DD but here is a suggestion : the first message is about MIME and 
Balsa has stopped working somewhat at the same time a gMIME update entered 
testing some days ago. Of course, I may be wrong.

I'd like to thank all the DD that have made it possible for Debian Balsa to 
catch up with upstream Balsa these last months.

PM

PS : I wish the BTS web input were already here to simplify the submission of 
this bug report ;)

Hi,

Like I wrote to the original bug reporter, it would be great if you
could provide a backtrace with a debug enabled balsa;
http://wiki.debian.org/?HowToGetABacktrace 

You will probably also need the libgtk2.0-0-dbg package.

 I'm not a DD but here is a suggestion : the first message is about
 MIME and Balsa has stopped working somewhat at the same time a gMIME
 update entered testing some days ago. Of course, I may be wrong.

If that's the case, maybe you can try older versions of libgmime and see
if it works? You can usually find these using
http://snapshot.debian.net/
