Public bug reported: Urgent, we need an update to the python-mapnik package.
When Karmic systems do not have the 'python-cairo' package installed the python-mapnik package is unusable and segfaults. This was fixed in the debian 0.6.1 package and upstream - both workarounds. Ideally the existing python-mapnik package can up updated so that python-cairo is a required dependency AND the fix from upstream can be included as a patch. See http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/392 for more detail. Here is the situation on a fresh Karmic machine: # apt-get install python-mapnik # python >>> from mapnik import * >>> m = Map(10,10) >>> im = Image(10,10) >>> render(m,im) Segmentation fault # apt-get install python-cairo # python >>> from mapnik import * >>> m = Map(10,10) >>> im = Image(10,10) >>> render(m,im) >>> # works! ** Affects: mapnik (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- lacking python-cairo dependency causes segmentation fault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
