I can confirm the same error. Before the 10 updates today F-spot ran but crashed on exit. After applying the updates today F-spot crashes on start with the error reported here.

One of the 10 updates was 'libart'. From reading the changes I was hoping it would solve the crash-on-exit error. Not at all sure, but maybe it could be involved in this new problem?

Is there a log somewhere where I can see the last 10 updates that were applied?

Aaron.

I think this has to do with not all updates arriving at the same upgrade. After todays upgrade, fspot does work again (and not crash on exit), so for me this bug is fixed.

ok, thanks for your feedback.
