[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#882934: pcb-gtk crash

[Dima Kogan]

Hi.

Let's try to get to the bottom of this. Are you still experiencing the
crash?

My suspicion is that you have some shared library installed that's
incompatible with some other component. You say you upgrade the whole
system regularly?

I'd like to see the list of shared libraries your pcb-gtk is depending
on. What does this say:

  ldd /usr/bin/pcb-gtk

It'd also be interesting to get the list of all the packages that
provide those dependencies. What does this say:

  ldd /usr/bin/pcb-gtk | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq | xargs dpkg -S | awk -F: '!/diversion/ {print $1}' | xargs dpkg -l

Past that, I'd like to get a core. If that doesn't work, we can bring
out bigger guns, but hopefully this would be enough. Please do this:

1. ulimit -c unlimited
2. cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
   This should be "core" or "core.something". If it isn't, please write
   "core" into that file, as root. This is non-permanent and would be
   reset to whatever it was when you reboot.
3. In the same shell, invoke pcb-gtk, and trigger the crash

The kernel should dump a file named "core" into your current directory.
If I could get a copy of that file, that'd be very useful. It might be
quite large so maybe emailing that wouldn't be ideal. Maybe hold off on
this, and just send me the output of the two ldd commands above.

Thanks much for helping us debug!
