liferea-add-feed segfault

[Aaron Skomra]

1.Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
2. liferea:
  Installed: 1.10.17-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1.10.17-1ubuntu2
  Version table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3. Expected to add a feed to liferea
4. Instead segfault

To reproduce on Ubuntu 16.04:

$liferea-add-feed https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/commits/master.atom

yields:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

liferea-add-feed is just a script calling liferea --add-feed

This looks like it may be fixed in later releases of liferea:

https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/479

If I run in gdb:

Thread 1 "liferea" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff28e76f1 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[d❤vid (kwill)]

Confirmed this still occurs in liferea 1.10.19-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.10. It looks like this will be resolved when Liferea 1.12 is released: https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/479

liferea (1.12~rc2-2ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - debian/patches/add_X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain.patch:
      + Add X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain to .desktop file.
    - debian/patches/ubuntu-example-feeds.patch:
      + Use Ubuntu feedlists instead of Debian.
  * Drop changes:

    That code has been removed upstream, probably it will
