colord-sane crashed with SIGSEGV in libusb_get_device_list() during quantal to raring upgrade

[Para Siva]

This crash occurred during quantal to raring desktop auto-upgrades amd64. The crash occurred only once and the consecutive run has passed. A manual upgrade of an updated quantal desktop installation to raring did not produce this crash either.

The testing was done in an automated way and here are the major steps involved.

1. Create a quantal base image using ubuntu-vm-builder and bootstrap it to get the ubuntu standard desktop packages
2. Use do-release-upgrade to perform the upgrade.
