Package: banshee Version: 2.9.1-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
banshee completely fails to start. This is currently happening for both the unstable and experimental versions, but I post the terminal log for the experimental version here: servo:~ 0$ banshee --debug --debug-sql --debug-addins --no-gtkrc ** Running Mono with --debug --profile=gui-thread-check ** The 'gui-thread-check' profiler wasn't found in the main executable nor could it be loaded from 'mono-profiler-gui-thread-check'.

start, but none of them actually included the same error log I see here, so I consider it a separate issue. At some point this year banshee became incredibly unstable, getting worse and worse to the point that it doesn't even start at all now. No idea what's going on. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages banshee depends on: ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gstreamer1.0-alsa [gstreamer1.0-audiosink] 1.8.1-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad [gstreamer1.0-audiosink 1.8.1-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.8.1-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good [gstreamer1.0-audiosin 1.8.1-1 ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio [gstreamer1.0-audiosink] 1.8.1-1 ii libatk3.0-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libc6 2.22-7 ii libcairo1.10-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.106-1 ii libdbus-glib2.0-cil 0.6.0-1 ii libdbus2.0-cil 0.8.1-2 ii libgconf2.0-cil 2.24.2-4 ii libgdata2.1-cil 2.2.0.0-2 ii libgdk3.0-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libgio3.0-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.48.1-1 ii libglib3.0-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libgpod4 0.8.3-7 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 1.8.1-1 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.8.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.20.4-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.30-1.1 ii libgtk3.0-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libgudev3.0-cil 3.0.0-1 ii libkarma0 0.1.2-2.4 ii libmono-addins0.2-cil 1.0+git20130406.adcd75b-4 ii libmono-corlib4.5-cil 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 ii libmono-posix4.0-cil 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 ii libmono-sharpzip4.84-cil 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 ii libmono-system-core4.0-cil 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 ii libmono-system-xml4.0-cil 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 ii libmono-system4.0-cil 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 ii libmono-zeroconf1.0-cil 0.9.0-6 ii libmtp9 1.1.10-2 ii libnotify3.0-cil 3.0.3-3 ii libpango3.0-cil 2.99.3-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.12.2-1 ii libtaglib2.1-cil 2.1.0.0-3 ii mono-runtime 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6 Versions of packages banshee recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1 ii brasero 3.12.1-1 ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.8.1-1 ii media-player-info 22-2 Versions of packages banshee suggests: pn banshee-dbg <none> pn gstreamer1.0-ffmpeg <none> ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.8.1-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 1.8.1-1 -- no debconf information
