Package: sparkleshare Version: 2.0.1-1 Severity: grave After the recent update, sparkleshare fails to start without any kind of useful error message on multiple machines.
First, it hits a mono bug that's triggered by the new libncurses, which can either be worked around with «TERM=xterm sparkleshare start» or patched by https://github.com/mono/mono/commit/2c1f45f3791f274855e0f5fd2fb0af71c9a756f7 (thanks to Jo Shields for that link). It then runs like: $ TERM=dumb sparkleshare start 06.47.09 Environment | SparkleShare 2.0.1 06.47.09 Environment | Git LFS 06.47.09 Environment | Git 2.17.0 06.47.09 Environment | GNOME (Unix 4.16.0.1) 06.47.09 Cmd | | gvfs-set-attribute "/home/tfheen/SparkleShare" metadata::custom-icon-name org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare and then just exits. strace does not really shed any light on what's going on. I'm happy to help out with debugging this issue if you can't reproduce it. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages sparkleshare depends on: ii git 1:2.17.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-3 ii gvfs 1.36.1-1 ii libappindicator3-0.1-cil 12.10.0+git20151221-5 ii libgdk3.0-cil 2.99.3-2+b1 ii libgio3.0-cil 2.99.3-2+b1 ii libglib3.0-cil 2.99.3-2+b1 ii libgtk3.0-cil 2.99.3-2+b1 ii libjs-jquery 3.2.1-1 ii libmono-corlib4.5-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-posix4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-system-core4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-system-xml4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libmono-system4.0-cil 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 ii libnotify3.0-cil 3.0.3-3 ii libpango3.0-cil 2.99.3-2+b1 ii libwebkit2-sharp-4.0-cil 2.10.9+git20160917-1.1 ii mono-runtime 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1 Versions of packages sparkleshare recommends: ii python 2.7.15~rc1-1 ii python-nautilus 1.1-6 sparkleshare suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
