Xmms with xmms-flac won't start on Breezy RC1

[Aaron Whitehouse]

When I try to start xmms it exits with the following error:
--------
@Zyanya:~$ xmms
Message: device: default
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0xb6d3c738 ***
Aborted
-----

I am using a standard install of Breezy release candidate (at 17/09/05)

Thanks

This could not be reproduced as part of the Ubuntu Bug Day activities on any of i386, amd64, or powerpc. Could you please test again, and mark this bug Fixed if you do not experience the problem with a current Breezy?

[Aaron Whitehouse (aaron-whitehouse)]

I have reinstalled Xmms and have a fully upgraded Breezy. I am using an i386. Sorry, it still is not working at all. The same error message is occuring.

[Aaron Whitehouse (aaron-whitehouse)]

Just to confirm, I have reinstalled all xmms-related packages (as per the suggestion in bugzilla) and the issue is still the same.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Please purge all xmms* packages and reinstall only xmms. My hunch is that an external plugin is the culprit.

Barring that, please obtain a backtrace using gdb.

[Aaron Whitehouse (aaron-whitehouse)]

Completely remove Xmms (xmms-flac and xmms-mad remove due this)
Install xmms
*works*
Install xmms-flac
*error as above*
Remove xmms-flac
*works*
Install xmms-mad
*works*

Thanks for the suggestion, simple as it was. Do you want a backtrace with xmms-flac installed?

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Yes, please attach a backtrace. Thanks.

After reinstalling the xmms-flac plugin,

Confirmed, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324783

Let's try to push this in for Breezy.

Should we have added a watch for bug 14825, or is it additional to bug 11028?
