Description Andris Pavenis 2007-11-09 16:35:06 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

After fresh installation and following adding packages using pirut, both pirut
and pup begin to crash.

Initially it crashes sometimes when I try to add more packages. One more visible
problem (often with following crash) was incorrectly disabled button "Optional
Packages" for groups Applications-->Educational Software and
Applications->Engineering and Scientific.

Later soon after start when getting before displaying main window. The same
(crash at startup) happens also with pup.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
pirut crashes

Expected results:
it should not crash


Additional info:

I'm now installing Fedora 8 on other system (this time x86_64). Observed some
problems with incorrectly disabled "Optional Packages" button for the same
groups, some crashes, but generally pirut is still able to do it's work. To do
things differently, I haven't added Livna repository yet for this case (x86_64).
It was added on the begin for i686.

I understand that this is not a good bug report, but I don't have better error
information yet.

Crash log of pirut
Comment 2 Andris Pavenis 2007-11-10 11:01:05 UTC 
Rebooting fixed the crashes. There should however be some instructions for user
what to do (perhaps added to error dialog):

1) reboot and retry (or something similar)
2) if that does not help then report bug

Some other idea: if pirut or pup crashes, there could be some extra actions on
the next run (like running ldconfig and maybe something more).
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2007-11-12 15:48:02 UTC 
Do you know if hal was running when you hit this crash?
Comment 4 Andris Pavenis 2007-11-12 16:52:34 UTC 
Unfortunately not. The crashes no more happened after rebooting and I'm not
going to do fresh install Fedora 8 in near future (so I could try to reproduce
problem once more).
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2007-11-12 20:58:30 UTC 
Okay.  Committed something that will serve as a fix, although it's a bit more
coarse than I would have liked

pirut crash dump. Array Index out of bounds
Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2007-12-26 18:56:27 UTC 
The new traceback is a different bug (bug 426736) and related to the use of a
specific plugin rather than pirut itself
