There was a hack put into Mir around the end of June 2015 as linked by Daniel (https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/mir/fix-1391976/+merge/262678). As the comment suggests this was pending "a proper fix will come from libprotobuf itself but this way we don't need to wait for that".
This "hack" was removed at the end of July 2015. I don't see a corresponding change to protobuf. So I suspect I have been chasing the wrong fix. I found some differences that look related and tried patching them locally. I still have to figure out why patching things seems to work locally - especially with the typo in the patch file. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619616 Title: Mir test fails with protobuf3: Protobuf-can-be-reloaded (SEGFAULT) Status in Mir: Confirmed Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in protobuf package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: builds with 3.0.0-7, then has one failing test: test 19 Start 19: Protobuf-can-be-reloaded 19: Test command: /<<BUILDDIR>>/mir-0.24.0+16.10.20160815.3/obj-powerpc64le-linux-gnu/bin/mir_test_reload_protobuf 19: Test timeout computed to be: 9.99988e+06 19/19 Test #19: Protobuf-can-be-reloaded ..........................***Exception: SegFault 0.17 sec 95% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 19 Total Test time (real) = 125.73 sec The following tests FAILED: 19 - Protobuf-can-be-reloaded (SEGFAULT) Errors while running CTest Makefile:85: recipe for target 'test' failed make[2]: *** [test] Error 8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1619616/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
