Segmentation fault when launched

[Santiago Erquicia]

I installed eric3 today and when I try to run it it segmentation faulted.

This is the output on the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/eric3.py", line 147, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/eric3.py", line 132, in main
    mw = UserInterface(loc, splash)

I can't reproduce it on version 3.6.1-3ubuntu2 in Breezy. I guess transitioning Sip and KDE Python bindings helped out.

Hi,

the segmentation fault is really a eric3 problem in combination of eric3, python-qt. (I only have python-qt installed)
With the actual version of eric3, there is no segmentation fault anymore (compiled from source 3.6.2) and the qsizepolicy bug is not there anymore. but there is a strange behaviour with this qsizepolicy at all in python-qt. so we should check this in python-qt. and for eric3 wait for breezy :)

I recompiled python-qt,sip etc. and I patched a bit the kde stuff.
I'm waiting for upstream to put those patches in the upstream source.
After that, I will create new packages for sip,pyqt and pykde...

:)

Maybe soon... :-)

I suggest you inform the DD too, Debian users may need this patch NOW.

For dia, I created dpatches of upstream fixes, and opened a few bugreports of priority Wishlist, asking the DD to add these patches while they are not in a new upstream release.

[Stephan Rügamer (sruegamer)]

Patches etc. are at debian :)

I will close this bug, cause the new packages are already in breezy.
