[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#489037: audacious: "Illegal instruction" at start on i386 systems

[Francesco Poli]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: important

Hi!

As soon as I upgraded from audacious/1.5.0-2 to audacious/1.5.1-1
on a lenny i386 (AthlonXP) box, I began experiencing segfaults on
start.
This also happened on another i386 (dual AthlonMP) box.

Since I solved this on amd64 by upgrading audacious-plugins{-extra} to
the unstable versions (as I commented on bug #489025), I thought
I could do the same here.  Unfortunately, after upgrading plugin
packages, I began experiencing the following:

  $ audacious 
  Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so): /usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so: undefined symbol: audacious_drct_get_playing
  Illegal instruction

I don't know if this is the same issue that was mentioned in bug #486543
(message 47 states a SIGILL is experienced only on AthlonXP and
that rebuilding the package with --disable-sse2 seems to solve the
problem...); anyway, since bug #486543 mainly talks about segfaults,
I thought I should file a separate bug report for an "Illegal
instruction"...

Downgrading to audacious/1.5.0-2 (and to the corresponding plugin
packages) solves the issue.
