Bug#299374: nautilus: segfaults repeatedly with python-nautilus installed

[Matt Barry]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal


Recently (last couple of days) nautilus started segfaulting on startup
(or when run manually).

I managed to resolve the issue (and get nautilus to run again) by
running "apt-get remove python2.3-gnome2 python2.3-glade2", which also
removed the following packages:
configlet-frontends foomatic-gui gdesklets gdesklets-data jumpnbump
jumpnbump-levels meld python-configlet python-glade2 python-gnome2
python-nautilus python2.3-configlet python2.3-glade2 python2.3-gnome2
routeplanner-gnome

I was then able to reproduce the problem with "apt-get install
python-nautilus" (as this package was upgraded recently, I also tried
downgrading to the last version (0.3.0-2), but nautilus continued to
crash.

Thanks!
