Description Horst H. von Brand 2007-01-02 17:42:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Starting luma, and selecting the Browser gives a python crash

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
luma-2.3-8.fc6

How reproducible:
Always (same on x86_64)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start luma
2. Ask for Browser
3.
  
Actual results:
Hang, crash message seen on starting tty:
  *** glibc detected *** python: double free or corruption (out): 0x0a2b2650 ***
Have to kill -TERM the python process running luma

Expected results:
Look at LDAP...

Additional info:
glibc-2.5.90-14, python-2.5-6.fc7

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2007-01-08 19:02:40 UTC
Please downgrade to python-2.4 or install the developement package of luma.

The problem of upgrading to python-2.5 is the need for rebuild a lot of packages
which are depending of python.

Using a mix of fc6 and fc7 packages is not a very good idea.

Best Regards:

Jochen Schmitt

Comment 2 Michael Colligan 2007-06-05 19:02:26 UTC
This was never a problem for me with FC6 but I am seeing this exact behavior on
a default install of F7 with only updates applied.

*** glibc detected *** python: double free or corruption (out): 0x085e05c0 ***

I was trying to do a search but I think this error will be found throughout the
application.



Comment 3 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-05 19:25:26 UTC
I assume, that this is a problem with python and the most recent version of the
glibc.

It may be helpful to get an backtrace for further analysis.

Comment 4 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-11 19:00:31 UTC
I have open #243762, becouse I believe, it's a python issue.

Comment 5 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-12 16:12:10 UTC
I have found the solution for this issue.

If you update to python-ldap-2.3, the reported issue doesn't ocure anymore.

You may find the python-ldap-2.3-1.fc7 package in the update-testing repository.

I will create a package of luma, which will check for python-ldap-2.3 as a
requirement.

Comment 6 Michael Schwendt 2007-06-12 17:39:10 UTC
So, although a test-update fixes this you close the ticket with NOTABUG?


Comment 7 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-13 14:12:35 UTC
Yes, becouse its a issue coused by python-ldap and not by the luma package.

I have wrote, that if you update python-ldap to version 2.3, luma works without 
any modification on the luma package.

But I will create a package of luma for F7 and above, which have a python-ldap 
>= 2.3 Requirement.
