f-spot 0.5.0.3 crashes on startup

[Phish108]

Binary package hint: f-spot

The problem is with the f-spot-0.5.0.3-ubuntu3 package, the f-spot-0.5.0.3-ubuntu2 worked properly.

F-spot starts after displaying the root window, f-spot stops working and closes the window.

Running the latest proposed update of f-spot on Ubuntu 8.10.

starting 'f-spot --debug' from a terminal results in the attached output.

Thanks for your report, may you tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce the crash? does it works fine with another account? I've tried to reproduce this but f-spot works fine for me with a stock user account and with another one with loads of photos, not confirming, also the log doesn't reflect any crash, may ou try to get another one? thanks.

talked to soon, do you have enabled the color management option in the preferences dialog? if so that's a duplicate of bug 291189.

Thanks. This is a duplicate of bug 293437. Unfortunately, the fix in intrepid-proposed has uncovered another bug.

The easy steps are clicking on the f-spot icon in the main menu, then a window opens and closes immediately (without debugging enabled, it seems as the screen flickers).

With a vanilla account I cannot confirm the problem either. The problem occurs only with those accounts that already have an existing f-spot photo collection (with tags and all).

The photo collection was created with 8.04. The system was upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 recently. After the upgrade I tested the photo collection and used f-spot only as a photo viewer (no new photos added)

Color management was not used with f-spot in the past.

With the gconf-editor I cannot see anything that hints that color management is activated (and f-spot does not start).

In .gnome2/f-spot I cannot find anything that hints color management, either.
