TESTCASE:

* rsvg-view replace-hue.svg.gz

before upgrade the rsvg-view call segfaults, with the update it displays the image

other testcase description:

I have a 100% reproducible crash with Nautilus while browsing Inkscape's examples directory from SVN.

1. Check out inkscape:
svn co -r 22330 https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk inkscape
2. Navigate to inkscape/share/examples
3. Crash

The crash happens when thumbnailing this file. I send it gzipped, because otherwise Firefox also hangs when I navigate into the directory where it's located to select it for upload.

Confirmed, will get a backtrace.

Nautilus needs to be insulated from thumbnailers crashing the entire system.

As it is now, and has been for at least four or five releases, I can easily drag down my entire desktop file browser via an SVG thumbnail or video codec thumbnail.

Medium seems like a low priority given that these sorts of bugs completely prevent Nautilus from starting up - or worse - if the file is located on the audience member's desktop. It results in a system that is unrecoverable in terms of browsing a system, searching for files, etc.

Is there a way of preventing a thumbnailer from crashing Nautilus? It would seem more logical to patch Nautilus at the source and have a generic icon displayed instead of having the entire system get stuck in a loop of crashing.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this has been fixed upstream now, thanks for reporting.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Debdiff without the documentation, tests and svg updates

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The changes are non trivial but quite some bugs are fixed and the update is in debian testing too now

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Accepted into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

I've tested the proposed package, it indeed fixes the crash and did not noticed any regression so far, marking this as verification done, thanks all.
