Package: variety
Version: 0.6.3-5
Severity: normal
Tags: help
Control: found -1 0.6.7-1
Control: fixed -1 0.6.9-1
Variety versions < 0.6.8 essentially hang if you try to quit (at least,
when you do so right after starting the program). If run from a
terminal, Variety shows that it is killed by its own watchdog thread
(force_exit) after a few seconds.
I suspect that some thread is locking up due to VRTY.org being closed
down[1], because the issue is gone in 0.6.8 and later (where all of this
integration code was removed). However, I have *not* been able to
isolate the exact cause of the freeze, and a giant patch removing a
large portion of code is probably too invasive to backport.
Interestingly enough, I have not been able to reproduce with 0.6.3 even
more serious startup hangs that sporadically hit 0.6.7-1 in Ubuntu
bionic.[2]
