Description of problem: Due to bug 733987, I got into a state with pilot-link-libs but not pilot-link installed and then tried to sync. Without the udev rules from pilot-link, the library was unable to open the USB device and segfaulted because it did not null check the return from usb_open. This took me some time to trace down. Given that the current packaging structure anticipates the possibility of pilot-link-libs being installed without pilot-link, the library should give a meaningful error message in this situation. Alternatively, the packaging could be restructured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pilot-link-0.12.5-5.fc15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have pilot-link-libs installed and pilot-link uninstalled. 2. Attempt to sync, e.g., with gnome-pilot. Actual results: Segfault. Expected results: Error message, e.g., "Failed to open USB device. Make sure you have the udev rules installed (in pilot-link in Fedora)."
fixed in rawhide: pilot-link-0.12.5-11.fc18 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=321460 I've moved udev rules from the main package to the libs subpackage, so now the pilot-link-libs package is usable without pilot-link package.
