[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1035424: saods9: Connection to catalogs is not working

[Jan Strobl]

Package: saods9
Version: 8.2+repack-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: strobl at asu.cas.cz

Dear Maintainer,

The ds9 has problems connecting to the catalogs.

Reproduce it by opening a fits file with a valid WCS, then use Analysis->Catalogs->Optical->Tycho-2 (or any other catalog). The newly opened window claims "Status Loading", but nothing really happens. If you then hit the "Cancel" or "Close" button, the pop-up will appear with the message 'An internal error has been detected invalid command name "xml::parser"'.

Exactly the same happens when trying to use the "Name resolution" functionality (Analysis->Name Resolution).

The problem is related to all versions in Debian and Ubuntu as well. However, the binary version at the author's site (https://sites.google.com/cfa.harvard.edu/saoimageds9/download) doesn't suffer from this problem.

My guess - maybe there is a bug in compilation or missing dependency?

Cheers,

Jan Strobl.
