Package: geda-gschem Version: 1:1.8.2-5 Severity: normal I have not used gschem for a while so needed to refresh my memory. I opened it on a schematic which was fine, but opening the help menu and clicking on any of the entries resulted in a crash and core dump.
Trying the first entry gave this in the status window: ------------------------------------------------------------ Backtrace: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 160: 12 [catch #t #<catch-closure bf5640> ...] In unknown file: ?: 11 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure bf5640>] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 160: 10 [catch #t #<catch-closure ef6e20> ...] In unknown file: ?: 9 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure ef6e20>] ?: 8 [eval-string "(help-manual)" #<undefined>] ?: 7 [call-with-input-string "(help-manual)" ...] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 2404: 6 [save-module-excursion #<procedure f84210 at ice-9/eval-string.scm:65:9 ()>] In ice-9/eval-string.scm: 44: 5 [read-and-eval #<input: string 9e7a90> #:lang ...] 37: 4 [lp (help-manual)] In gschem/gschemdoc.scm: 86: 3 [show-wiki "geda:documentation"] In unknown file: ?: 2 [string-join (#f "wiki") "/" suffix] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 105: 1 [#<procedure 11d7440 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:100:6 (thrown-k . args)> wrong-type-arg ...] In unknown file: ?: 0 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure ef6de0> wrong-type-arg ...] ERROR: In procedure apply-smob/1: ERROR: In procedure string-append: Wrong type (expecting string): #f ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trying gdb on the core dump showed: Core was generated by `gschem A701A_probed.sch'.
