Bug Description

Binary package hint: wsjt

When trying to install WSJT in Gutsy Gibbon I received an error telling me that numpy was missing.

I installed numpy which cleared the original problem, but then WSJT core dumped. I suspect a dependency problem with numpy.

WSJT works fine with my Feisty Fawn partition.

Best regards,

Steve

In Intrepid, installing wsjt pulls in numpy just fine... but wsjt then coredumps with an "Illegal instruction".

So I suspect this issue has been only partially fixed?

The backtrace I get from gdb (after ulimit -c 10000000 so it actually creates a core file) is:

Core was generated by `python /usr/share/wsjt/wsjt.py'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

Incidentally, wsjt appears to lack a man page, too.

BTW, should a problem such as "WSJT core dumped" really be considered "bitesize" ? It seems a lot to expect of newcomers to deal appropriately with this kind of issue.

Is there an official rule about "un-bitesizing" a bug -- how would I do that?
