[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#533372: gosmore map rebuild fails with "Assertion seg failed"

[Sebastian Leske]

Package: gosmore
Version: 0.0.0.20080704-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

gosmore rebuild fails with an assertion failure:

~$ gosmore rebuild < map.osm 
1 while (xmlTextReaderRead (xml))
2 while (fread (&nd, sizeof (nd), 1, groupf[i]) == 1)
3 while (fread (s, sizeof (s), 1, groupf[i + NGROUPS]) == 1)
-- about 200 lines skipped --
258 rewind (groupf[i])
259 rewind (groupf[i])
260 rewind (groupf[i])
261 rewind (groupf[i])
262 rewind (groupf[i])
263 rewind (groupf[i])
264 rewind (groupf[i])
gosmore: gosmore.cpp:1989: int main(int, char**): Assertion `seg'
failed.
Aborted

As gosmore will not run without the map file (.pak) generated by gosmore
rebuild, this makes gosmore completely useless.

I suspect this is because the format of OSM's XML data changed recently
(April 2009, see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Protocol_Version_0.6 ), while the
gosmore in Debian is from July 2008.  
This error does not occur with gosmore built from current SVN
(2009-06-16).

gosmore should be updated to the latest upstream, or removed from
Debian.
