Package: zynaddsubfx Version: 2.4.0-1.2 Followup-For: Bug #661887 Dear Maintainer,
I experience the same situation on my system. To investigate the problem, I have run zynaddsubfx via strace: strace -ff -o log zynaddsubfx That's what I've found in one of the logs, after I tried to select one of banks open("/usr/share/zynaddsubfx/banks/William_Godfrey_Collection//0045-Hard Stereo Sweep Synth.xiz", O_RDONLY) = 7 fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2860, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb0059000 fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2860, ...}) = 0 _llseek(7, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0 read(7, "\37\213\10\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\355\\Qs\3338\16~\357\257\360\371\275\353\310\211c{\246\355\216/"..., 2860) = 2860 _llseek(7, 2860, [2860], SEEK_SET) = 0 close(7) = 0 munmap(0xb0059000, 4096) = 0 write(2, "mxml: Bad control character 0x1f"..., 62) = 62 When I opened the /usr/share/zynaddsubfx/banks/William_Godfrey_Collection//0045-Hard Stereo Sweep Synth.xiz without decompression, I can see, that indeed the first byte is 0x1f However if I rename it e.g. to test.gz and perform "gzip -d test.gz", I can see correct XML file. So the source of the problem is that zynaddsubfx does not recognize the ".xiz" files as compressed, and attempts to open them directly as XML. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.11 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages zynaddsubfx depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.25-2 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libfftw3-3 3.3-1 ii libfltk1.1 1.1.10-11 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.3-1 ii libjack-jackd2-0 [libjack-0.116] 1.9.8~dfsg.2-1 ii libmxml1 2.6-2 ii libstdc++6 4.6.3-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.6.dfsg-2 zynaddsubfx recommends no packages. zynaddsubfx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
