[Vivien GUEANT]

This bug affects only Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf. The previous Ubuntu versions are not impacted

Filezilla : Site Manager crash (assertion failed) only with Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf

OS : Ubuntu 15.10 64bits
Kernel : 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 8 15:35:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Filezilla : filezilla (3.12.0.2-1ubuntu2) [universe] and filezilla-common (3.12.0.2-1ubuntu2) [universe]

Error when open Site Manager :
[code]wxD-Bus: Signal from /org/freedesktop/DBus, member NameAcquired
wxD-Bus: Reply with serial 2
wxD-Bus: Reply to RegisterClient, our object path is /org/gnome/SessionManager/Client9
buildinfo.cpp(118): assert "*version >= '0' && *version <= '9'" failed in ConvertToVersionNumber().
wxD-Bus: Unregistered[/code]

= SRU for wily =

[Impact]
Trying to open the site manager which is one of the main features of FileZilla raises an assert error and may crash the program.

[Test Case]
Launch FileZilla, try to open the site manager (File > Site Manager, Ctrl+S, or the icon on the top left hand of the main window).
If a popup appears with "An assertion failed!", you've reproduced the bug. The "continue" button allows to ignore the error, but trying to close the popup or hitting "Stop" will make the program crash.
If the site manager appears directly, the bug is fixed.

[Regression Potential]
Very low. Fix is simple. Upstream confirmed this is the appropriate patch.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Waz (paviluf)]

I have this problem too. If I try to import my settings (File / Import settings) previously saved in a xml file this is the error I got:

buildinfo.cpp(118): assert "*version >= '0' && *version <= '9'" failed in ConvertToVersionNumber().

ASSERT INFO:

Werewolf has bitten my Filezilla too. Interested in some facts?

[Martin Reisbeck (a-0nfo-f)]

Here it is:
An assertion failed!

buildinfo.cpp(118): assert "*version >= '0' && *version <= '9'" failed in ConvertToVersionNumber().

And a Backtrace is added. Interested?

[Martin Reisbeck (a-0nfo-f)]

The Backtrace includes 34 Function Prototypes:

[Martin Reisbeck (a-0nfo-f)]

Excuse me please. After reinstall filezilla 3.12.0.2 all wounds healed suddenly.

[Vivien GUEANT (vivienfr)]

This bug affects the migration from Ubuntu 15.04 but also clean installations of Ubuntu 15.10 64bit

Uncheck the box "show this dialog the next time" can make invisible the error message.

[Mike Frank (i-mike-h)]

A workaround at this time is to uninstall the package, and use the latest 3.14 binary from the filezilla site. This will continue to use your existing settings config in your user directory.

[Adrien Cunin (adri2000)]

Fix is upstream SVN rev 6826.
Working on it.

I'm not on Wily anymore due to KDE 5 bugs (I'm back on Kubuntu 14.04 until those bugs are fixed).
So I can't test but I'm sure the others will and I wanted to thank you for the fix.
Thanks.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

worked like a charm.
