GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 541111
libgnomeui no longer supplies gnome_segv2
Last modified: 2009-05-20 09:35:52 UTC
In evolution-data-server-1.12.3 (and also SVN trunk) in src/server.c, an external executable program "gnome_segv2" is called in the event of certain seg-faults. That program was part of libgnomeui-2.0, however, is no longer present as of GNOME2.20. Apparently there is a replacement (at least in idea, if not in exact function and interface) in bug-buddy now: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2007-August/msg00097.html So at a minimum, that exec() in server.c needs to be scrapped (and the associated libgnomeui_serverdir check in configure.in). Could just do a fprintf like the other modes in that part of server.c? bug-buddy is a pretty big dependency for just this feature, and not sure it's desireable either. Lots of programs crash and just let the default desktop/system error-handlers handle it instead of trying to coerce a specific external error-handler.
The code in question had been removed recently, in bug #580419, thus marking as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 580419 ***
