Bug#732804: yabause-qt crashes when File > Settings accessed (if no optical drive in system)

[Jason Alavaliant]

Package: yabause-qt
Version: 0.9.13-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Yabause-qt mostly works for me but if from the main menu I select File > Settings...
to access the settings windows yabause instantly crashes printing in the shell

ASSERT: "f" in file /tmp/buildd/yabause-0.9.13/src/qt/ui/UISettings.cpp, line 171
Aborted

I did an strace an yabause and found that prior to the ASSERT yabause was trying to access
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
(open("/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory))

so I dug up a usb dvd drive and connected it to my machine (it normally doesn't have
an optical drive attached since I so rarely need optical media), as soon as the drive
was attached (which made /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info come into existance) I was able
to access the settings window without crashing.

Thanks
Jason
