logjam can't read song data from rhythmbox

[Michael R. Head]

Binary package hint: logjam

LogJam attempts to load the song info from rhythmbox using this command:
 rhythmbox --print-playing

Well, this no longer works. It needs to be
 rhythmbox-client --print-playing

This needs to be changed in src/music.c around line 17.

err... that's already there.

I'll have to investigate why I needed to tweak it manually...

OK, this is weird. When I extracted the source for logjam, I found that src/music.c has rhythmbox-client listed. However, when I do a strings search on the logjam executable, I don't find it.

burner@phoenix:/tmp/logjam-4.5.3$ grep -ri rhythmbox .
./src/music.c: { "Rhythmbox", "rhythmbox-client --print-playing" },
./src/music.h: MUSIC_SOURCE_RHYTHMBOX,
./debian/changelog: * Change rhythmbox to rhythmbox-client (Closes: #425165)
burner@phoenix:/tmp/logjam-4.5.3$ strings /usr/bin/logjam |grep -i rhythmbox
Rhythmbox
rhythmbox --print-playing
burner@phoenix:/tmp/logjam-4.5.3$ dpkg -l logjam | grep logjam
ii logjam 4.5.3-1build1 Client for LiveJournal-based sites

So something's weird with the build in 7.10

OK, I've built my own package from source:

burner@phoenix:/tmp/logjam-4.5.3$ fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
...
burner@phoenix:/tmp/logjam-4.5.3$ sudo dpkg -i ../logjam_4.5.3-2_i386.deb
...
burner@phoenix:/tmp/logjam-4.5.3$ strings /usr/bin/logjam |grep rhythmbox
rhythmbox-client --print-playing

So the binary package doesn't match the source package... not good from a GPL perspective.

This was actually fixed, but due to bug 176622, the fix never made it into the released binaries.
