gmtp crashed with SIGSEGV in deviceConnect()

[Laurent Dinclaux]

I just connected my Galaxy Nexus and launched gMTP.

It is had to believe and the next LTS doesn't handle MTP correctly. There are millions of android device around the word and the upcoming devices will all use MTP.

This bug was fixed in the package gmtp - 1.3.2-1

---------------
gmtp (1.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream bugfix release:
    - Correct Makefile to fix when building with GTK+-3.4.
    - Reworked pkg-config handling to respect $(PKG_CONFIG) in Makefile.
    - Add additional error checking on connection of new devices, to hopefully
      avoid seg-fault with some very problematic devices. Ubuntu bugs:
      LP: #917314 LP: #948621 LP: #968798 LP: #995503
    - Fix issue with some Android 3.2 implementations and GetStorage() MTP API
      function. (Uses cached information, rather than full item rescan in some
      instances). (Closes: #667795)
    - Correct German Translations. (Closes: #672298)
    - Fix FLAC file handling.
  * Update debian/copyright.
  * Bump Standards.
  * Drop 0001-missing_linker_flag.patch, applied upstream.
  * Enable harden'd compilation.
  * Add 0002-format_security.patch to prevent build failure with the flag
    '-Werror=format-security' enabled.

I noticed that this fix was released almost three months ago. When can we expect it to be committed? (I'm not trying to hassle the devs, but just trying to work out whether I should attempt a workaround to get music on my phone, or whether I should wait for the bugfix.) Cheers.
