Description of problem: Librecad crashes with a coredump when trying to open files created and/or editted with the previous version of LibreCAD. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): librecad-2.0.4-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: All the time. Ever file I have tried to open. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open LibreCAD 2. open a previously created file. 3. wath application crash. Actual results: When running librecad in a terminal window, I get a crash with a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message. I have tried mulitple files created and edited over dates ranging from 2010 to 2014-06-09 just before I updated. I have tried to open various files in sizes as well with the same result. Expected results: Files are opened so I can work with them as expected. Allo me to edit the files as I need too. Additional info: I cannot use ABRT due to network restrictions where I work. I have all the abrt files. If asked, I may be able to upload individual files as needed. This is a partial copy of an strace when the crash occurs while trying to open the file. recvfrom(6, 0x29a32f4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLOUT}]) writev(6, [{"+\3\1\0", 4}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3) = 4 poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLIN}]) recvfrom(6, "\1\1\322\317\0\0\0\0\16\0\0\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096, 0, NULL, NULL) = 32 recvfrom(6, 0x29a32f4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recvfrom(6, 0x29a32f4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLOUT}]) writev(6, [{"\202\3\n\0\16\0\0\4\20\0\0\4y\4\241\3\231\3\234\0\330\0\4\1\231\3\234\0\30\2\0\0"..., 80}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3) = 80 recvfrom(6, 0x29a32f4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 4, 0) = 0 (Timeout) read(3, 0x7fffad87b3b0, 16) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recvfrom(6, 0x29a32f4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 open("/home/rlaing/Data/Projects/XXXXX/Drawings/Cable_Extension_Keyboard.dxf", O_RDONLY) = 12 read(12, "999\ndxflib 2.0.4.8\n 0\nSECTION\n "..., 8191) = 8191 close(12) = 0 open("/home/rlaing/Data/Projects/XXXXX/Drawings/Cable_Extension_Keyboard.dxf", O_RDONLY) = 12 read(12, "999\ndxflib 2.0.4.8\n 0\nSECTION\n "..., 8191) = 8191 --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x1} --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++
Created attachment 911084 [details] One of the files that crashes LibreCAD This file was edited/created in March with a previous version of LibreCAD.
I have just tested LibreCAD on my F19 machine and it is also crashing when trying to open files created earlier. I know that some of the files were created with LibreCAD. At present, I cannot get the abrt to work due to a couple of missing files. I will work on this and try later with a crash report based on the attached file.
Same here latest librecad crashes on opening files created with previous version all our files all of the time. This is on a fully updated Fedora 19 system. I have tried to upload a core dump via abrt, but this failed with the error: INFO:root:Preparing environment for backtrace generation INFO:root:Generating backtrace ERROR:root:The appropriate package set could not be installed Attached is another example file that fails.

While trying to rebuild the librecad package from source, I think I have found the reason. It appears to be a packaging problem. The version of librecad we were using, librecad-2.0.0beta2, had pulled in the package libdxfrw0. This supplies the library libdxfrw.so.0. When librecad was updated to librecad-2.0.4 this carried on using this same library. However there is a new package: libdxfrw that the new librecad needs. I presume the libdxfrw package should have the appropriate SPEC info to obsolete the older libdxfrw0 package... Anyway the following fixed it here: rpm -e libdxfrw0 --nodeps yum install libdxfrw
Thank you Terry. I tried your approach and I can now open my files on the F20 machine. I will have to try on the F19 machine later. Good work.
Fedora has never had a "libdxfrw0" package.... so I'm not sure where that came from. We only have the libdxfrw package. If you have that libpackage, can you tell me where it came from? (If you don't know, rpm -qip foo.rpm will tell you.)
Hi, Ah the librecad-2.0.0beta2-1.1 and libdxfrw0-0.5.7-1.1 packages are from: Name : librecad Vendor : obs://build.opensuse.org/home:Rallaz URL : http://www.librecad.org/ Name : libdxfrw0 Vendor : obs://build.opensuse.org/home:Rallaz URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdxfrw/ I suspect that Fedora19 shipped without librecad originally and so I had installed these from the http://www.librecad.org/ site. That would explain things.
I would say that my situation is the same for me. I had been using QCad and found that librecad worked much better. To get it working, I had to install the necessary libraries. Same on the F20 machine I bet. I just tested with libdxfrw and it works on my F19 machine. Installing the correct library from Fedora works. Shouldn't reoccur with F21. Thank you. This bug can be closed.
