Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.3-1
Severity: important
Hi.
I just installed rhythmbox on my system (that's using only a window
manager and no desktop environment).
Unfortunately, rhythmbox segfaults when hal is not running:
,----
| rbr...@chagas:~$ rhythmbox &
| [1] 2056
| rbr...@chagas:~$
| (rhythmbox:2056): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor
with dbus name org.gtk.Private.HalVolumeMonitor is not supported
|
| ** (rhythmbox:2056): WARNING **: Failed to initialize hal : (null)
|
| process 2056: Attempt to remove filter function 0x7fc81a25dac0 user data
0x11cfae0, but no such filter has been added
| libhal.c 3126 : LibHalContext *ctx is NULL
|
| [1]+ Segmentation fault rhythmbox
| rbr...@chagas:~$
`----
This behavior is, of course, undesired, for some reasons:
* a program should not crash out of the blue;
* if hal is indeed a hard dependency, it should not be declared as a
recommends---this is, of course, a little mistake in packaging;
* hal is being declared deprecated for some time now;
* more importantly, it seems that there is a problem with a null pointer
as indicated above---this might lead to a security problem
(perhaps?).
As a side note, if possible, it would be quite welcome if there were a
rhythmbox-gtk package for those that have to survive with "weaker"
systems.
Thanks, Rogério Brito.
