I'm very suspicious of my laptop running yakkety - even with "proposed" purged it is now crashing every few minutes (which makes keeping track of things a PITA).
The root cause is probably a failure in protobuf to re-initalise static data when clients call google::protobuf::ShutdownProtobufLibrary(). This leads to a failure when if the whole .so isn't unloaded before the next "GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERIFY_VERSION;" Which is why the change I picked up looks relevant. The "hack" mentioned above did appear to workaround the problem for Mir (i.e. the test passes). (But it will probably recur with other Qt plugins that use protobuf.) So I'm going to reinstall and start over. -- 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
