Bug Description

Binary package hint: python

From revision 7087 on python dumps core when running gajim: here is the change from 7086 to 7087: http://trac.gajim.org/changeset?old_path=trunk&old=7086&new_path=trunk&new=7087

A gdb-backtrace is attached, but it seems, that the error appears in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnomekeyring.so, and I was not able to get dbgsym packages for python-gnome2-desktop. Maybe somebody can assist me to build one if it is needed.

I'm reachable via E-Mail and Jabber.

Well, but on my system it dumps core.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this system was breezy some time ago, and was upgraded to dapper und now to edgy.

I've minimalised the problem, see the attachment.

I've tried the following:

* remove python2.3 (because of warnings of apt-get while installing python modules)

* sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(< python.debs)
* dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "ii" && $2 ~ /keyring/ {print $2}' > keyring.debs
* sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(< keyring.debs)

The gajim people made a workaround to this bug.

gnomekeyring.get_default_keyring_sync() dumps core if there is no keyring, which was the case on my system.

After creating one the above function doesn't dump core anymore.
