As this issue looks like a build error, I tried to re-build the package myself. However, running

LC_ALL=C LANG=C sudo dpkg-buildpackage

on the sources linked from <http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/banshee> fails with

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (used by debian/banshee/usr/lib/banshee/Backends/libbnpx11.so).
dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/banshee.substvars debian/banshee/usr/lib/banshee/libbanshee.so debian/banshee/usr/lib/banshee/Backends/libbnpx11.so debian/banshee/usr/lib/banshee/libossifer.so returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary] Error 9
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

but the resulting binary runs and doesn't crash (and is even able to scan my I-Pod).

Albrecht, please could you install banshee-dbg package and then run in a terminal "banshee --debug" and finally attach all the output information in a separated file? Thanks

I'm having the same problem. Here's my debug information:

Still broken. This is the default music player in Natty. Sad to see Ubuntu turning into just another distro.
