I tried to reproduce this bug, and it seems that qemubuilder doesn't handle the fact that the kernel image and the initrd are not set. This is caused by code in qemubuilder.c on line 316: http://sources.debian.net/src/cowdancer/0.73/qemubuilder.c/#L316 When these options are not set, the values are NULL, and the child that's supposed to start qemu segfaults when adding all the command line arguments. As this only happens when the configuration is wrong, this doesn't make the package completely unusable, so I downgraded this bug. This is still a bug that should be fixed, however. The user should get a clear message that some settings are missing. Cheers, Ivo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
