Padre, Eekboek and other libwx-perl based apps crash on startup

This gut also reported to the padre list by somebody else before: http://mail.perlide.org/pipermail/padre-dev/2010-October/002091.html

... and was also reported on bug 485012 which is marked as fixed for libwx-perl while this obviously isn't fixed.

Heh, this is even mentioned on the Padre download page http://padre.perlide.org/download.html

We have the same problem with Eekboek. If you rebuild libwx-perl from source and install that, the problem is gone. You can find here a working 32-bit version: http://www.eekboek.nl/repo/ubuntu_10.10/libwx-perl_0.9702-1_i386.deb

I hope this is the correct way to fix this.

Looks good, I've uploaded to maverick-proposed (pending verification by the SRU team) with a couple of small changes in line with the SRU policy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates:

Version number: 0.9702-1bulid1 -> 0.9702-1.1 (makes it obvious that it's an SRU)
Distribution: maverick -> maverick-proposed
Changelog entry -> No-change rebuild for unexpected ABI breakage (LP: #680140)

SRU Team: Please copy this up to natty

I rejected the upload. 0.9702-1.1 is a Debian version number (and the one that the next NMU is going to be), please don't steal that. Use 0.9702-1build1 instead. Thanks! Also, no need to update the Maintainer: field for a mere rebuild.

Also, please do a proper natty upload. We are way too much into the Natty cycle to still copy packages, we have a new toolchain and all that.

This bug was fixed in the package libwx-perl - 0.9702-1build1

libwx-perl (0.9702-1build1) natty; urgency=medium

Sorry, brain-slip, I meant -1ubuntu0.1 I'll do build0.1 as I want build1 the natty upload.

The maintainer change happened as a result of using sponsor-patch. Filed LP: #688872

> please do a proper natty upload

Done

I don't see a stable release update for libwx-perl in
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html
What about it?

It isn't in maverick-proposed yet, the upload is awaiting SRU team approval: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+queue?queue_state=1

Accepted libwx-perl into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

The 32-bit binary works fine with Eekboek.
