Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea

For the last half week or so, liferea has been crashing shortly after it starts up. I finally got frustrated enough to check it. Running strace, I found that it crashes (segv) when reading in liferea.db. I'm attaching the strace I ran, along with a tarball of the liferea_1.4 directory.

I should also mention that, after renaming ~/.liferea_1.4 and starting liferea afresh, things work fine again.

same issue : liferea segfaults on startup. renaming the ~/.liferea_1.4 directory solves the problem.
