[Pkg-shotwell-maint] Bug#665498: shotwell: Segmentation fault shortly after starting Shotwell everytime

[Muammar El Khatib]

Package: shotwell
Version: 0.12.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #665498

I'm also experiencing this problem as well. I'd like to add that I am trying to
manage with shotwell 27GB of pictures:

╭─muammar at ihacku ~
╰─% du -hc Photos |tail -n 1
27Gtotal

When I imported my Photos directory, shotwell failed with a segfault as follows:

╭─muammar at ihacku ~
╰─% shotwell
[1]    31372 segmentation fault  shotwell

I erased the ~/.shotwell directory, and all related configuration stuff I had.
Then I made a test. I imported the 27GB by using f-spot. When the DB was
created in f-spot, I proceeded to import it from shotwell and I was able to get
the 27GB of pictures to be managed by shotwell. No problems so far until
I checked the option: "watch library directory for new files" it segfault
again.

I'll try to obtain a backtrace to see if it is helpful in some way.

Thanks for reading,

PS. I tested it with the version in unstable and experimental.
