[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#569932: devicekit-disks: completely unusable due to devkit-disks-daemon segfault

[Teodor]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 009-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

As reported in the first message, it segfaults at startup:
| Feb 15 11:29:01 frost kernel: [ 7524.054613] devkit-disks-da[20771]:
|   segfault at c ip 080660da sp bfb563b0 error 4 in devkit-disks-daemon[8048000+28000]

Only that the re-login is not even a workarround because the second login does not even
attempt to start devkit-disks-daemon as it is already started. I've checked this by
killing the process and re-login and still the same segfault.

This problem makes devkit-disks-daemon and all depending pieces from Gnome to not work
(for example 'brasero'). I'm using k3b which still uses 'hal', but that's only for
burning CD/DVDs. I cannot open any disc to see its content, nor can I umount any disc,
not the icon status changes if I replace the current disc in the drive. The icon remains
with the status of the first disc inserted (which for me is "Blank DVD+R disc").

Thanks
