Package: madman Version: 0.94beta1.20060611-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Someone's obviously been hard at work on madman, it's changed quite drastically at the last update (and not entirely for the better!). However, it now has a serious crash problem. It loads up my existing madman.mad database alright, but then any action on the playlist (such as double-clicking a song to play it, changing the rating of a song, auto DJing 20 songs, pressing the forward button to go to the next song, etc) causes it to quit with the following message: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'tRuntimeError' what(): Invalid field id 2097197 while sorting list of songs Aborted The field id number is different each time, the rest of the error is always the same. Because it crashes un-cleanly, it leaves the database file locked so you have to Break Lock on next run. Here's an oddity. If instead of breaking the lock during startup, I select Cancel, so that it doesn't load my existing database; and if I then open said database manually using File>Open, and *then* select Break Lock, it seems to work fine without crashing. When creating a new database from scratch, I found that with a small set of files it worked ok, but with a large set (ie my complete music collection) the same crash happens -- ie as soon as it has read all the tags etc, select any file for playback and it crashes. Ditto if instead of doing that you save the new db and specify it on the commandline. But again, if I save this db, quit and restart madman, and load the db using File>Open, it works. So in summary, if you specify a (sufficiently large) db at startup, or you create one, it crashes on any playlist op; but if you use File>Open to load the db, it's apparently ok. On the bright side, one of the bugs I reported earlier (#365903) is fixed :) Though not at all in the way I would have liked :( Ben -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-qolc-2006060407 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages madman depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-7 GCC support library ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-10.1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-18 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.6-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtag1c2a 1.4-4 TagLib Audio Meta-Data Library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 Input extension library ii xmms 1.2.10+cvs20060429-1 Versatile X audio player ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-12 compression library - runtime madman recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
