GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 722915
Program exits with a SIGSEV when loading library
Last modified: 2014-01-24 14:18:48 UTC
If I try to run EasyTag on a up to date kubuntu as of today (most current EasyTag is 2.1.7), it crashes while scanning my music library. marosh@marosh-desktop:~$ easytag -v EasyTAG 2.1.7 by Jerome Couderc (compiled 03:51:27, May 11 2012) marosh@marosh-desktop:~$ easytag EasyTAG 2.1.7: Abnormal exit! (PId: 7976). Received signal SIGSEGV (11) You have probably found a bug in EasyTAG. Please, send a bug report with a gdb backtrace ('gdb easytag core' then 'bt' and 'l') and informations to reproduce it to easytag@gmail.com Steps to reproduce (on my machine): 1. Start EasyTag 2. Select music library folder and wait a moment while program begins to process the data. 3. Crash. As I am not experienced with the gdb stuff, I was not able to get that thing operating. If someone tells me how to operate it, I can provide further information.
This is very likely related to bugs in the TagLib MP4 support, implemented as an Ubuntu patch and upstreamed in 2.1.8. This problem was not fully fixed until 2.1.9, which was released a couple of weeks ago. Please ask the Debian EasyTAG maintainers to update the package to 2.1.9, which will then be synced to Ubuntu and in the next release (14.04). Contact details for the Debian maintainers can be found at: http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/easytag.html *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 695453 ***
