cssh crashes on invocation

[Shawn McMahon]

Binary package hint: clusterssh

It dumps core every single time I run it:

$ cssh
9091ec0 is not a hash at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/MainWindow.pm line 55.
Aborted (core dumped)

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

$ apt-cache policy clusterssh
clusterssh:
  Installed: 3.24-1
  Candidate: 3.24-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.24-1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This looks like a problem with how perl-tk interacts with your window
manager. Can you please provide information about the versions of perl-tk,
libx11-protocol-perl, and the window manager you are using?

Thank you,
Tony

This looks like an ancient X11 bug that apparently we haven't fixed in Ubuntu yet:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.tcltk/2006/09/msg99.html

Note that the fix won't work as-is, since /usr/X11R6/lib/ doesn't exist.

It looks very close to the bug #126741

I loaded 9.04-desktop and the Ubuntu clusterssh package inside a VMware, and it works fine. I feel pretty certain this is an issue with the interaction between the X-server and maybe perl-tk, and that it is not related to clusterssh.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
