Hi.

When running gnome-contacts or empathy I run into the following abort() :

GLib:ERROR:gvarianttypeinfo.c:165:g_variant_type_info_check: assertion failed: (info->alignment == 0 || info->alignment == 1 || info->alignment == 3 || info->alignment == 7)

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/gnome-contacts

If I recompile folks without zeitgeist support, then all work fine.

Comment 1 Philip Withnall 2013-12-08 14:47:43 UTC

Looks like a libzeitgeist bug, not a folks bug. I've opened a bug report upstream here and CCed you: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72479.

Comment 2 Antoine Jacoutot 2013-12-08 14:50:09 UTC

Hi Philip. Thank you for that -- honestly I was not sure which part was at fault (folks or ZG).

Comment 3 Robert Nagy 2013-12-12 22:00:28 UTC

I have the same issue.

Comment 4 Philip Withnall 2013-12-12 23:56:01 UTC

Please see the Zeitgeist bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72479
