Ok, SRU request made. Sorry its taken me a little while, my new job is
keeping me busy and this is the first chance I've been able to get :)
To MOTU: please note the patch is not currently in the normal debdiff
style, would you be able to either talk Kip through the nessasry changes
(here please, not by linking to a wiki page), or make them yourself?
Thanks :)
** Description changed:
+ SRU Details
+
+ Impact: Renders debugger unstable and unsuitable for use. Which, of
+ course, means that finding other bugs is harder. Severe to all package
+ users, minimal to normal users.
+
+ Development Branch: Not applicable - this is a packaging/build mistake.
+
+ Patch: Attached. Named "KipInsight.patch"
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. Install insight (...)
+ 2. Run Insight (I use "insight" in a terminal)
+ 3. Click on "View" > "Console"
+ 4. Type "show solib-absolute-prefix"
+ 5. See error.
+
+ Regression Potential:
+ Minimal - changes are made in the way the package is built, which may cause
other problems, but its unlikely. Only one line is changed in the build
configuration.
+
+
Binary package hint: insight
Whenever I load a wxWidgets application and click run, I get a pop up message
box that will not go away no matter how many times I hit ok:
"Cannot initialize thread debugging library: generic error"
After much probing around and help on the insight mailing list, it turns
out that it was built wrong.
