Picard Segmentation fault in Jaunty with python 2.6

[shayguitarra]

Binary package hint: picard

Since upgrading to Jaunty (Kubuntu 9.04) Picard v0.11 is crashing when processing ogg files.
Running in terminal produces the following:

sheamus@sheamus-desktop:~/Documents$ picard
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/picard/webservice.py:25: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
import md5
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/picard/webservice.py:28: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
import sha

Adding an ogg file produces the following:
Segmentation fault

Some ogg files are ok, and there seems to be no problems with flac or mp3.

I can confirm unusual behaviour of Picard after upgrading to Jaunty. I have also filed a bug here:

Further trial and error shows systematic crash upon trying to scan m4a files:

I am getting a crash on a particular mp3 consistently, it appears there are a couple of mp3's in my Beatles collection that do this.

The crash is instantaneous upon pressing 'scan'.

[Havard Bjastad (havard-bjastad)]

I get this on m4a (AAC) files. The following upstream tickets seem relevant:

http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/4127
http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/4797
http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/5263

[Martin Soto (soto255)]

I'm still experiencing this problem with the package from Karmic beta. Applying the one-line patch included in upstream ticket 5263 (http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/attachment/ticket/5263/sse2-segfault.patch) fixed the issue for me, though. Would it possible to apply it to the Karmic package before release?

[Ben (ben2talk)]

I'm now having trouble having just installed Picard to re-import my collection into a Karmic Install. It tags and imports .mp3's but gives me an instant Segfault when I drop an ogg

[Philipp Wolfer (phw)]

@Ben: You issue is exactly what was solved in the above upstream ticket. The Ubuntu package really should be updated. The relevant patches are:

[Philipp Wolfer (phw)]

I've created packages for Picard 0.12.1 in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~phw/+archive/ppa. You could try those.

[whereisian (whereisian)]

Picard 0.12.1 from phw's PPA is working. Cheers.
