there are still lots of question marks in the trace, should i install more debug packages?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you install librarian0-dbgsym and get a new one?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've sent the bug upstream on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11957

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

rarian (0.5.8-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Fix build on FreeBSD and Solaris (mostly)
    - rarian-example now goes through man and info pages again
    - Add MAINTAINER file, since someone asked for it
    Bug fixed:
    - Missing argument to sprintf added (bug #11976 and #11957) (LP: #130822)
    - Fix crashes on invalid info files (bug #11896)
    - Fix crashes on man pages with no section (bug #11901)
    - Fix update script when not reading OMF's directly
    - Don't free environment variables - they don't belong to us
    - Fix categoried with omf files (the one everyone complained about)
  * debian/patches/90_from_svn_fix_omf_categories.patch:
    - dropped, fixed with the new version
