Bug#418251: Debian digikam bug #418251

[Don-33]

Hi Christian,

I read your bug report and have had exactly the same problem -- that is,
when selecting any preview image for display, it crashes.  It worked
fine previous to this.  But that was a while ago.  For the past couple
weeks, things got worse!  digikam now crashes for me the same way only
immediately after the splash screen is displayed very briefly -- I
cannot even get to anything else.

I do note you say you are using nvidia graphics driver and nv graphics
driver.  I am using the nvidia graphics driver I compiled some weeks ago
 from their (nvidia) website, and I'm not sure, but think the problem
with digikam may have started after doing this.  I am using the latest
installable version on sid (ver. 2:0.9.1-4) -- with an un-installable
version sitting waiting for dependencies.

The backtrace screen from the SIGABRT say: This backtrace appears to be
of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents
creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously
corrupted in the crash.
(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

I am open to suggestions -- I really miss using digikam and have had to
boot into Windows to download from my camera, something I didn't wish to
happen.  If you need more information about my system, let me know what
you need (and if not obvious, how to get it).

Regards,
Don

Don,

This suprises me.  Which dependencies in particular are you awaiting?

According to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/digikam all
dependencies are currently available.  Note that digikamimageplugins is now
depreciated as those plugins are now included in the main digikam package..

I'll look into creating a digikam-dbg package which we can use for these
situations.

Don,

Could I ask you to install the digikam 0.9.2/ libdcraw 0.1.1 packages that are
available from http://people.debian.org/~msp and the libexiv2 0.1.4-2 package
that has just been uploaded to unstable and see if the bug is still present.

If so could I ask you to use the reportbug(1) package to provide an update,
that way all your dependent libraries will be reported per version number.

Finally, could you include a image from your archive that crashes.

Thanks,
Mark
