Description Paul M Edwards 2002-10-20 05:59:08 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
I'm running Ximian Gnome (1.4) and updated Nautilus (and Nautilus-Mozilla) to
1.0.6-16 from the Red-Hat channel.
Nothing else was updated.
Now nautilus dies and throws this error to stderr:

nautilus: relocation error: /usr/lib/libnautilus-private.so.0: undefined symbol:
eel_background_get_sample_size

Nothing else was updated and when I revert to Nautilus & Nautilus-Mozilla
1.0.6-15.ximian.14 it works fine again.

I will also post this to bugzilla.ximian.com, but I think the problem is in the
Red Hat package. :(

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.6-16

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Nautilus 1.0.6-16 from the Red-Hat channel.
2. Kill current nautiuls processes and watch as they flounder trying to reload.
3. Spawn new process from terminal and observe crash/error.

Actual Results:
[paul@Paul paul]$ nautilus
nautilus: relocation error: /usr/lib/libnautilus-private.so.0: undefined symbol:
eel_background_get_sample_size
[paul@Paul paul]$

Expected Results:  No crash, no error.

You probably have mismatched eel and nautilus packages. This has never been 
reported on a system with only Red Hat packages. You need to stick to 
all Red Hat packages or all Ximian packages, and to go back and forth you 
need to uninstall _all_ GNOME packages from the other source. See the release notes.
