gnucash segfaults on jaunty when opening an account

[guivho]

Binary package hint: gnucash

running Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release 9.04 on an amd64 box

using latest ubuntu gnucash release: gnucash 2.2.6 built from r17427 on 2008-10-02.

since the updates of dec 2nd or 3rd, gnucash consistently crashes when opening any account.
Here are the dmesg lines of the last two tries:

[ 3132.809739] gnucash-bin[13269]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fe2482eac8e sp 00007fff51094900 error 6 in libgncmod-register-gnome.so[7fe2482ce000+23000]

I can no longer use gnucash on Ubuntu.

i have the same exact problem.

Weird, gnucash in jaunty is exactly the same version that you can find in intrepid..

I found a upstream bug report for gnucash that describes a crash that appeared only since glib2 2.19.* which is now in jaunty, so this bug is most probably to be a dupe. According to this, I'm linking upstream bug. According to developers, the fix is included in current trunk and will be a part of gnucash 2.2.8 .

I see this too on Jaunty.

This bug was fixed in the package gnucash - 2.2.6-2ubuntu4

---------------
gnucash (2.2.6-2ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low

  * fix segfault due to glib2-2.19 transition (LP: #305066)

Jamie Strandboge : Thanks for your last update. Your last fix introduces a segfault regression identified in upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564928 and fixed by r17781. I attach a debdiff which fixes this regression. Can you consider it for upload as well?

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Saïvann, thanks for triaging this and submitting the debdiff! I can confirm this fixes the issue and will upload soon.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gnucash - 2.2.6-2ubuntu5

---------------
gnucash (2.2.6-2ubuntu5) jaunty; urgency=low

  * fix double free introduced by r17761. Thanks to Saïvann Carignan for
    pointing this out and finding the fix. (LP: #305066)
    - rename debian/patches/03_segfault_r17761 to 03_segfault_r17761+r17783
      and adjust it to include both r17761 and r17783
