kid3 assert failure: *** stack smashing detected ***: kid3 terminated after opening a mp3 file

[Christian Mangold]

Binary package hint: kid3

kid3 is broken. As topic says, it terminates after opening a mp3 file. I tested it with our Ubuntu package and with the one from Debian. Same failure.

kid3 (1.2-1ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * Rebuild against new taglib 1.6 (LP: #425319)
    - debian/control: Remove libmp4v2-dev again., breaks the build
    - debian/rules: Change KDE4 cmake flag to disable MP4 support and add
      --without-mp4v2 to configure of kid3-qt build

I talked to upstream and he couldn't compile with enabled MP4 support, either. taglib is now also compile MP4 enabled afaik, might be the problem. Anyway kid3 isn't working in it's current state and MP4 support needs to be removed again and a rebuild is necessary.

Taking a look now.

This bug isn't fixed with *ubuntu3. The reason for the problem is bug #444466.
