Yes, it seems that clementine get a lot of troubles (including crashes) using the current version of taglib in Debian but this is not a build-depend issue and clementine is not the only package affected. The source of the problem is just that the version 1.9.1 of taglib is very buggy and that we need a newer version to be packaged in Debian. There is a bug report against the taglib package here and I already post on it: * https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805848 The best you can do to help is find a way to reproduce the bug you talk about and next open a new bug report against clementine. Next we will see what to do… Regards, Thomas Pierson
