Bug #1055761 (marked as a duplicate of this one, despite having been reported first) has a patch that will prevent the crash from occurring by crudely hacking out all video functionality. It should be sufficient to keep this package limping along until somebody does a proper update of pyrocket. I might take a crack at it, but I'm not entirely sure what pyrocket does with OpenCV.

Hey, sorry - marked that as a dupe of this one, as this includes the appropriate priority and stacktrace because of apport. Could you please attach the patch to this bug instead?

Note that, as you can see from the bug watch, a patch was also suggested upstream - I haven't gotten a chance to compare the two yet.

Yeah, I saw the "upstream" patch, too. I took a look at the diff and got scared off by the multitude of Subversion files being removed. I'll see if a checkout of that code produces a sane diff against the upstream codebase. If it does, then it would probably be a better candidate than my patch.

I have attached a patch that should apply against the latest upstream code (which is probably the same as what's in the package, given the lack of upstream activity) that contains the changes that Stadler guy made. As it turns out, the necessary changes weren't too bad; somebody familiar with the new OpenCV Python interface could have done it in about 15 minutes (if even that).

If we need somebody to properly package these changes, I can do that.
