Package: guppi
Version: 0.40.3-12
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that will cause
your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer is
greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64.
guppi_seq_boolean_new() isn't defined in any header files I can find. I
do see a guppi_seq_boolean_new_aligned in
src/libguppidata/guppi-seq-boolean.c, but it is wrapped in an #ifdef 0.
Google finds a suggested fix here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/guppi-list/2004-February/msg00002.html
Though I can't remark on its correctness. The patch below implements
this suggestion and has been compile-tested.
