2009-11-03 02:04:26 Scott Howard description Binary package hint: qtiplot With Ubuntu 9.04, my qtiplot worked fine. After updating to 9.10, qtiplot quits without any message or error every time I want to plot or fit any data. I used the same data and the same sheeds I also used before the update. I am using the version 0.9.7-1 of qtiplot, installed via synaptic. I also tried to reinstall the program, which didn't change anything. Binary package hint: qtiplot With Ubuntu 9.04, my qtiplot worked fine. After updating to 9.10, qtiplot quits without any message or error every time I want to plot or fit any data. I used the same data and the same sheeds I also used before the update. I am using the version 0.9.7-1 of qtiplot, installed via synaptic. I also tried to reinstall the program, which didn't change anything. ________ Here is the formal SRU request: 1) This program is will not work for anyone in karmic. It will load, but when you try to plot anything, it will crash. This is due to this package being uploaded during the Jaunty development cycle and relying on library version we had in Hardy. Specifically, the qwt and Sip libraries cause a FTBFS and segfaults the program when run (see comment #2 above). 2) This has been addressed in the development branch by releasing new versions that depend on newer libraries. However, no one merged or synced this in over a year. Rather than try to do an SRU of a total version update, we can try to just fix this bug and teach it to use the current shared libraries. 3) Attached is the minimal patch (debdiff). 4) Test case: 1) load qtiplot 2) put dummy values in the X and Y columns (e.g. 1 and 2 in the X column; 4 and 5 in the Y column) 3) select the Y column, then chose "Plot" and "Line" 4) BOOM! (see screen shot for what it is supposed to look like, using the patched version) 5) Regression potential: none. It is totally unusable now, it can't get any worse.
