Bug#337213: kdesktop: SEGV due to previous unstable - testing transition, missing audio related dependency
Package: kdesktop Version: 4:3.4.2-4 Severity: grave Hello all, I found the new kde 3.4.2-4 testing packages in the archive yesterday, thus I upgraded my 3.4.2-3 unstable packages (installed maybe 4 weeks ago before I made the switch from unstable - testing on this system). On next KDE startup, the result was a nice kdesktop crash (KDE error handler) with a backtrace that indicated audio related issues (sorry, didn't keep a copy of that backtrace), and of course kdesktop was gone. Since I strongly suspected audio package problems, I upgraded as many as I could find, from: Package: libaudio2 Version: 1.7-2 Package: libartsc0 Version: 1.4.2-4 Package: libarts1c2 Version: 1.4.2-4 Package: libaudiofile-dev Version: 0.2.6-3 Package: libaudiofile0 Version: 0.2.6-3 to: Package: libaudio2 Version: 1.7-3 Package: libartsc0 Version: 1.4.2-5 Package: libarts1c2 Version: 1.4.2-5 Package: libaudiofile-dev Version: 0.2.6-6 Package: libaudiofile0 Version: 0.2.6-6 I upgraded those and *only* those, and the crash was gone. IOW clearly a missing dependency issue (someone didn't expect me to upgrade an unstable KDE to a newer testing KDE version ;). Now if I knew which package exactly was causing this, then I'd be much wiser... (I guess you might want to look at some C++ ABI transition in one/some of these packages?)

We know. This is a result of a toolchain bug, #336114, and there isn't much we can or should do about these crashes until we get some direction on how that bug is going to be solved (though in unstable, as you can see there, we rebuilt arts specifically to avoid the worst of the problem). Until then, users will have to avoid partial upgrades, or they can work around the crashes by disabling Sound Previews. I'm lowering this bug to important for the time being, since it doesn't break the package for everybody. Nevertheless, rest assured that we'll get this sorted out as soon as possible.
