Bug#553149: Problem reproducable
I have been able to reproduce the problem. I updated the mime.cache (update-mime-database.real ~./local/share/mime). After a reboot, all those applications (Pidgin, Iceweasel, Icedove) do segfault again, when I try to access files (to send or save). After removing the file and restarting the application(s), all works fine again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#553149: Workaround
I had the same problem, using Testing and Unstable with KDE. Iceweasel, Icedove and pidgin segfaulted, when I tried to open or a save a file. As an ugly workaround, I manually installed http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libglib2.0-0/download. This is version 2.20. Didnt find any other possibility, because the version in stable is too old, and both, unstable and testing caused segfaults for me. Btw: I installed a new Debian Unstable in a VM and have not been able to reproduce this error there. Hope, that can help someone. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#553149: Another workaround
With some help from #debian in irc.freenode.net, I found out that (re)moving ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache also helps. I dont know, what this file does, so i kept it in ~/tmp. The file is not recreated by any application yet. This workaround is from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591606. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
