GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 433492
Unable to load PAN at all! pan: fptools.c:455: _FP_fgets: Assertion `*buf' failed.
Last modified: 2007-04-27 04:15:40 UTC
Pan crashed at some point when I wasn't monitoring it, and when I try to start it, this is the error I get. I've tried to reinstall PAN, some of its dependencies, nothing has worked. Any ideas? ------- BEGIN BACKTRACE ------- Script started on Wed 25 Apr 2007 08:57:00 PM MDT ]2;knightsword@TICO2:~]1;TICO2knightsword@TICO2:~> us[Kname-a[K[K -a Linux TICO2 2.6.18.8-0.1-default #1 SMP Fri Mar 2 13:51:59 UTC 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux ]2;knightsword@TICO2:~]1;TICO2knightsword@TICO2:~> gdb pan GNU gdb 6.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

what version of pan does "pan --version" say you're using?
Sadly, even when I try to run pan --version, I get the exact same error. However, if it helps, I installed this version from SuSE's Yast, and it reports the following technical information:: pan - A Powerful Newsreader for GNOME Alternate Version Installed Version Version: 0.119-5 0.119-5 Build Time: Mon 27 Nov 2006 07:40:46 PM MST Mon 27 Nov 2006 07:40:46 PM MST Install Time: Wed 25 Apr 2007 08:24:11 PM MDT Package Group: Productivity/Networking/News/Clients Productivity/Networking/News/Clients License: GNU General Public License (GPL) GNU General Public License (GPL) Installed Size: 2.5 M 2.5 M Archive Size: 804.4 K 2.5 M Distribution: Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany Packager: http://bugs.opensuse.org Architecture: i586 i586 OS: Build Host: pythagoras.suse.de URL: http://pan.rebelbase.com/ Media No.: 1 0 Authors:
