hard to say, as it crashed early on in the start up process (and also
because i dont really remember because several months have passed).

Clearly there's always a "risk" when using a file sharing software
that it connects to the network. that being said, there's no _legal_
issue is you dont have anything in download/upload: even if amule
connects to the enkey/kademlia networks it has nothing so share or
download, so that's just an empty client with no implications for the
IP address it connected to.


Do you mind trying again with the latest wxwidgets3.0 release?  I just 
uploaded a new upstream release (3.0.5.1) yesterday, so if it was possibly 
a wx issue, it may have been fixed.


Also, there is a very similar amule bug report (crash) from someone who 
was still running the GTK 2 build of wx, so it would be good to check 
whether this is really something just seen when when running the GTK 3 
build.

Any update on moving amule to use libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev?  amule is one of
the last couple of packages keeping the gtk2 wx package in unstable (as
cruft).  We keep getting bug reports about those cruft packages

Sadly no: upstream hasnt ported amule to WX GTK3 and it doesnt look
like it's gonna happen anytime soon (help with the port is of course
welcome, probably better to sync upstream if someone wants to lend a
hand) so feel free to ask FTP Masters to force the decruft

Switching to the GTK 3 version may be as simple as:
1) Update your Build-Depends
   libwxgtk3.0-dev -> libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
   libwxgtk-media3.0-dev -> libwxgtk-media3.0-gtk3-dev
2) Rebuild
3) Test


i tried this but it failed with this segfault:


[...]


Thread 1 "amule" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x771d8c1a in wxWindow::DoClientToScreen(int*, int*) const () from 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwx_gtk3u_core-3.0.so.0


That sounds suspiciously similar to this bug, reported as happening when
using the GTK2 flavour of wxWidgets:

Any update on moving amule to use libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev?  amule is one of 
the last couple of packages keeping the gtk2 wx package in unstable (as 
cruft).  We keep getting bug reports about those cruft packages
