Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-uno
$ lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
python-uno ersion: 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2
The python script that causes this so small I can include it in line
{{{
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, uno, unohelper
# get the uno component context from the PyUNO runtime
ctx = uno.getComponentContext()
smgr = ctx.ServiceManager
xToolkit = smgr.createInstance( "com.sun.star.awt.Toolkit")
unohelper.inspect(xToolkit, sys.stdout)
}}}
Saving this to a text file "test.py" and executing
python test.py
produces
Segmentation fault

What should have happened:
A meaningful exception (or no exception), justifying python as a quick-test
tool for ideas.
What did happen:
Whether I wanted to or not, a headlong dive into Ububtu / Debian package
management.
First I posted
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdevelop/+question/40081
How do I step through the source code of installed packages?
(thanks for your responses)
and realised that
1. It's quite uncommon for people to debug / step through installed binary
packages - the de-facto approach is to build from source with debugging
information and optimisation off, and step through that.
2. kdbg / gdb has no way of knowing (that I can find) where the source code for
a loaded library / program is, even with the debug info package for that
package installed.
3. sudo apt-get source <packagename> doesn't apply to OpenOffice.org - I got
the following message when I tried:
$ apt-get -s source openoffice.org-core
NOTICE: 'openoffice.org' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr' version
control system at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-hardy
Please use:
bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-hardy
to retrieve the latest (possible unreleased) updates to the package.
4. According to the apt-get man page, in the "source" command section:
"Note that source packages are not tracked like binary packages, they exist
only in the current directory and are similar to downloading source tar balls.".
5. <trawls the net some more> I found
http://openoffice.debian.net/build.html
Building OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 from the latest apt-gettable Debian sources
It suggested that I
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep openoffice.org
apt-get source openoffice.org
(which doesn't apply to Ubuntu, I guess)
In Ubuntu, OpenOffice.org is stored on Bazaar
6. OpenOffice.org is stored on Bazaar in 'bzip2 compressed archives' so I
couldn't just point gdb at the expanded source tree.
sudo apt-get install bzr
bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-hardy
for which I would need about 6GB of free disk space and (from previous
experience).

Actually dpkg-buildpackage included version constraints in brackets for the
required packages. I won't repeat them here as I don't want to waste your time
unnecessarily.

8. The recommended location for source files
http://proton.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSRCSOURCECODE
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
I found the section on
/usr/src Source code (optional)
I'm guessing that I need to install the source code here.
Speaking of Fedora, kdbg integration is somewhat more integrated and will
recommend
debuginfo-install <package name>
this downloads and installs debugging symbol information and the source code in
a well known location.
9. The debugging information in the debugging packages doesn't include
source file and line number information.
I eagerly look forward to a considered response.
