Tags: patch This bug would be fixed in the upstream 1.3.7 version, and it would be very good to get to squeeze. The bug makes the package largely unusable currently unless it doesn't fail for everyone, and still.
Attached is a tested patch to packaging (only). Changes are needed because the new upstream version is differently prepared from the 1.3.6 release. The diffstat between 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 is _huge_, but the real code changes are extra minimal. It's still worth packaging the new upstream version since it has a large amount of translation updates in addition to the configure file cruft. So, to update the package, this should work: apt-get source me-tv cd me-tv-1.3.6/ uscan . uupdate ../me-tv_1.3.7.orig.tar.gz cd ../me-tv-1.3.7 patch -p1 < ~/me-tv_1.3.7_packaging.patch And adding stuff to debian/changelog like: me-tv (1.3.7-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Fixes crash on startup (Closes: #672243) [ Timo Jyrinki ] * Add a patch to restore po/Makefile.in.in * Add dh_autoreconf because of different kind of upstream release ...or however you want to present it. -Timo
