Description of problem: When attempting to add a movie in gcstar and using the "Fetch Information" function, the pop-up window stating "Search in progress..." freezes after a few seconds. In the terminal session from where I started gcstar it says: Can't store CODE items at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_store_fd.al) line 304, at /usr/bin/../lib/gcstar/GCPlugins.pm line 146 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.1-1.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up gcstar from the command line. 2. Click on "Add" in the toolbar. 3. Enter the name of a movie (any name will do). 4. Click "Fetch Information". 5. Select a data source in the dialog window that comes up and click "Fetch Information" Actual results: A pop-up window comes up, saying "Search in progress..." with an animated progress bar. After a few seconds, the bar stops moving and the command line shows: Can't store CODE items at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_store_fd.al) line 304, at /usr/bin/../lib/gcstar/GCPlugins.pm line 146 The application hangs at this point. Killing it by clicking the close button on the frame and having gnome force-quit the application produces an additional message: Magic number checking on storable file failed at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/fd_retrieve.al) line 398, <RCOMMAND> line 1, at /usr/bin/../lib/gcstar/GCPlugins.pm line 96 Expected results: The search completes and gives a list of possible matches. Additional info: I'm not sure whether this is due to some file corruption on my local data (I cannot find where gcstar stores my movie information), or because of recent updates.

Hi, sorry for taking so long to respond. I tested the update (from updates-testing-newkey, rather than updates-testing), and the program no longer crashes. It still produces warnings though: Can't store item CODE(0xa5ff964) at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_store_fd.al) line 304. However, gcstar seems to work fine and no longer crashes.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I didn't manage to remove this warning. But it's harmless as you noticed. This version as been submitted to stable updates. There should be a notification here when it will be available.
