[jaunty] Neverputt crashes at start

[slamdunk]

Binary package hint: neverputt

When I launch neverputt it crashes at start with a segmentation fault.

Unfortunately I cannot report all data about crash with "apport system" cos this last return "url open etc." when send completely report. So I just attach strace info.

please check bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/neverball/+bug/359911

it has a complete report via apport

I can confirm this behavior. Installing the package neverball fixes the problem. So neverputt should depend on neverball like in the past.

Only the package neverball-data is needed. Neverball itself isn't needed to prevent the crashing.

The package from https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro/+archive/testing works.

For future releases the through neverputt needed files should be transfered from neverball-data to neverball-common so both games could be installed separately but for Jaunty this will do it.

Many thanks.

It is fixed in Debian sid. Most likely it was the change "create symlinks to ttf files in proper package (Fixes segfault for neverputt, there fore urgency set to medium)"
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/n/neverball/neverball_1.5.1-1/changelog#versionversion1.5.0-2

At least I have compiled the latest Debian version and it doesn't have the problem. I don't know if the old patch could be located. But the new release has at least another important change: "Prevent thread race that was occasionally crashing the game"

But of course the dependency will do it for Jaunty too.
