Hi Sebastien, thanks for your explanation. Unfortunately I am still having problems.
Here's what I took from your instructions. Steps I added myself to overcome problems encountered are in square brackets: - Run first line in terminal - Run second line in terminal - Make a new file with the contents of that link and put it in /gvfs-1.18.2/debian/patches - Add the name of this new file as a new line in /gvfs-1.18.2/debian/ptches/series - [cd to gvfs-1.18.2 because I was getting error about not finding Debian change log.] - [run "sudo apt-get install devscripts" from terminal because I was didn't have the 'dch' command.] - [installed "GnuPG keys of Debian Developers" from software centre because I was getting errors some key errors somewhere]. - Run "dch -i 'attempt to fix Launchpad bug number 1210852'" in terminal - [Edit changelog so that last edit appears signed by a previous editor (you incidentally) instead of me because I was getting an error after running debuild about my signature not containing a valid email address.] - Run "sudo apt-get build-dep gvfs" in terminal. - Run "debuild" in terminal. Along the way I get a few "warning"s along the way but the way (one common one being "warning: Can't extract name and version from library name `libgvfscommon.so'" ) but the script continues until it finally ends with: " dpkg-genchanges >../gvfs_1.18.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.changes dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload dpkg-source --after-build gvfs-1.18.2 dpkg-source: info: unapplying 1210852.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying ref-jobs-in-thread.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying handle-inactive-vfs.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying dont-crash-on-null-job.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying metadata-nuke-junk-data.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying metadata-dont-flush-null-tree.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 06_metadata_nfs.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 05_shared_libdaemon.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 04_hurd_path_max.patch dpkg-source: info: unapplying 01_modules_dir.patch dpkg-buildpackage: binary and diff upload (original source NOT included) Now running lintian...

Aborting.... debuild: fatal error at line 1280: running debsign failed " Also tried debuild -kA2D7D292 (obtained that key from "gpg -k" in the terminal) but the problem persists. It does leave a bunch of .deb packages on my computer but running them just opens the software centre which displays messages such as "Breaks existing package 'gvfs-backends' dependency gvfs (= 1.18.2-0ubuntu1) Error". I have attempted resolving these issues myself to no avail. Any pointers? P.S. Am I treating Launchpad too much like a forum bothering you guys with these questions here? Would I be better off presenting this to Ask Ubuntu or something? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210852 Title: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1210852/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
