[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 913523] Re: Segfault on Root::Initialise

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Hi Kai,

I do not use Ubuntu, but I am the maintainer of the OGRE packages in
Debian and Ubuntu seems to get them directly (as they do with other of
my packages), so I keep an eye on bug reports and everything.

First of all thanks for reporting.  Second, please apologise for my lack
of experience with some stuff -- it's one of my first packages with
multi-arch enabled, and it's the first time that I see debug symbol
files made with hashes.

I also maintain sdl-mixer and sdl-net, both also imported in Ubuntu
without further changes, and I didn't get reports about them.  They're
quite popular, so even if they're also very young (6 days in Ubuntu, ~19
in Debian) bug reports can come quicker than with OGRE.  So I am not
sure about what can cause the problem, I followed the same procedure for
both.  However, one of the noticeable differences is that OGRE is C++
while SDL are in C.

I also don't know what's the problem with the -dbg package.  There are
11 *.so* files in libogre-1.7.3 and also 11 debug files, so in principle
there's nothing missing... but I am not sure how's the process for the
debugger to get symbols with this new way of hashing, so maybe it's not
finding the symbol file correctly.

What debugger are you using.  Did you ever use Valgrind?  Maybe you get
more info about problems happening before the actual segfault hinting to
some other issue (e.g. missing plugins).

Also, can you please tell the previous version where it's known to work
for you?

And finally, do you have any other files installed in the system that
you think that may be interfering (e.g. installation of OGRE also in
/usr/local)?

Regards.

Title:
  Segfault on Root::Initialise

Status in “ogre” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With the move to Multiarch the same code that worked with the old
  ogre-1.7.3 packages now produces a segfault at Root::Initialise.

  The ogre-1.7.3-dbg doesn't contain libraries for OgreMain, but only
  for plugins (or at least i can't fidn them). So I'm not able to debug
  this situation...

  I am using latest Precise on Amd64.
