Comment 23 for bug 444300

Hi,

I tested gthumb today on Lucid beta 2 with all updates installed. This bug is still there. My CompactFlash card carried some *.AVI files. Trying the same with an SmartMedia card without any video files succeeded.

Did the same strace as Stephen did. But on my Lucid system the file libexif-12.mo is found in the right language pack:

pirx67@...: dpkg -S /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/libexif-12.mo
language-pack-de-base: /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/libexif-12.mo

Therefore this should not be the reason for the failure.

But the interaction with any movie files found on the cards seems to be clear.

The strange thing I found is the following. Asking dpkg about the installed version it tells me :
pirx67@...:~$ LANG=C;dpkg -l gthumb
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii gthumb 3:2.11.2.1.is. an image viewer and browser

But gthumb itself outputs in the info box and from the command line:

pirx67@...:gthumb --version
GNOME gthumb 2.10.11
