Bug#703222: closed by Michael Gilbert <mgilbert at debian.org> ()

[Mattia Monga]

Dear Mike,

maybe I wasn't clear in the explanation of my case.

a. I had gnome-session-bin 3.4.2.1-3 and all the unstable versions of
   the gnome packages (glib-networking 2.32.3-1,
   glib-networking-common 2.32.3-1, glib-networking-services 2.32.3-1,
   gnome-session 0.28-6, gnome-session-common 3.4.2.1-3,
   gnome-session-fallback 3.4.2.1-3, libglib2.0-0
   2.33.12+really2.32.4-5, libglib2.0-bin 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5,
   libglib2.0-dev 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5

b. in the state a. I crash into the bug

   gnome-session[3271] trap int3 ip:7fc5b55d8491 sp:7fffdbc79ef0 error:0
   gdm-simple-slave[3138]: WARNING: Child process 3271 was already dead.

c. then I installed the experimental packages with the command

   # aptitude install -t experimental gnome-session --safe-resolver

d. gnome-session-bin now works correctly


Thus I believe the bug lives in the unstable set of packages and not
in the mix unstable/experimental that I know to be potential unsafe.

Best,
