libqt0-ruby1.8: calls to initialize do not return

[Andreas Simon]

Qt::MainWindow and other widgets do not return from calls to initialize.

How to reproduce:
ruby /usr/share/doc/libqt0-ruby1.8/tutorial/t4/t4.rb
You will only get a gey windows, because the call 'super' in line 9 doesn't return.

Many other tutorial and examples are broken in the same way.

This is debian bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335876

According to this bug report it's fixed in the debian package. In Ubuntu Dapper it's not.

Please let the developers team decide, which bugs are Major - they are a tool for prioritisation.

unable to reproduce in dapper, previously there was a problem with qt/ruby where only empty windows were displayed. can you try updating and see if you still get this error?

[Kenny Duffus (kduffus)]

Thanks for the bug report.

Please upgrade to the most recent version, and open a new bug if the problem persists

[Andreas Simon (andreas-w-simon)]

Yes, you're right, it's fixed in current Dapper.
Sorry for not testing this earlier.
