Package: bug-buddy
Version: 2.14.0-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I recently filed a bug report against a gnome applet (sensors-applet, #376394).
The maintainers were surprised because of the following line in the
backtrace generated by bug-buddy:
Backtrace was generated from '/usr/libexec/sensors-applet'
It was strange because sensors-applet is installed in /usr/lib/gnome-panel/.
Apparently it comes from the line 276 in gdb-buddy.c:
long_app = g_find_program_in_path (app);
if (!long_app) {
/* Applets are not in path... */
long_app = g_strconcat(GNOMELIBEXECDIR,"/", app, NULL);
}
short_app = app;
where GNOMELIBEXECDIR is defined in config.h by
/* Libexec directory */
#define GNOMELIBEXECDIR "/usr/libexec"
Later on in gdb-buddy.c (line 319) the mentionned lined is printed by:
s = g_strdup_printf ("Backtrace was generated from '%s'\n\n", long_app);
It would be nice if a more suitable path could be used instead. Apparently,
some applets are installed in /usr/lib/gnome-panel/ and others in
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/. I don't know if there's a good reason for that.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Samuel.
