** Description changed: Binary package hint: qtiplot With Ubuntu 9.04, my qtiplot worked fine. After updating to 9.10, qtiplot quits without any message or error every time I want to plot or fit any data. I used the same data and the same sheeds I also used before the update. I am using the version 0.9.7-1 of qtiplot, installed via synaptic. I also tried to reinstall the program, which didn't change anything. + + ________ + + + Here is the formal SRU request: + + 1) This program is will not work for anyone in karmic. It will load, but + when you try to plot anything, it will crash. This is due to this + package being uploaded during the Jaunty development cycle and relying + on library version we had in Hardy. Specifically, the qwt and Sip + libraries cause a FTBFS and segfaults the program when run (see comment + #2 above). + + 2) This has been addressed in the development branch by releasing new + versions that depend on newer libraries. However, no one merged or + synced this in over a year. Rather than try to do an SRU of a total + version update, we can try to just fix this bug and teach it to use the + current shared libraries. + + 3) Attached is the minimal patch (debdiff). + + 4) Test case: + 1) load qtiplot + 2) put dummy values in the X and Y columns (e.g. 1 and 2 in the X column; 4 and 5 in the Y column) + 3) select the Y column, then chose "Plot" and "Line" + 4) BOOM! (see screen shot for what it is supposed to look like, using the patched version) + + 5) Regression potential: none. It is totally unusable now, it can't get + any worse.
