Package: libgnomevfs2-0 Version: 2.8.3-11 Severity: normal Hi, I'm experiencing a crash in /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0. It doesn't make sense, so I hope you can help.
I'm trying to get the latest OpenOffice beta (v1.9.74) running (yes, you're libgnomevfs, not openoffice, but please bear with me!) I download the latest binaries from www.openoffice.org, convert the rpms to debs using alien, and install. For the first time, it seems the upstream openoffice binaries install cleanly and run on Debian. So I have a blank openoffice window before me, it seems to be running fine. Yippee. But when I go to open a document, I then get this error: /opt/openoffice.org1.9.74/program/soffice.bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0: undefined symbol: xmlTextReaderConstName and openoffice crashes. I would have expected openoffice1.9, being beta quality and compiled for a different system, to crash, and would not normally have bothered you. However, the error message is telling me that the crash is occuring in /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0, not in openoffice as such. When I look inside /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 with "nm -D", I do indeed see the undefined symbols, xmlTextReaderConstName and others. It's not too hard for me to figure out these symbols are defined in /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.16, provided by libxml2: $ nm -D /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.16 ... 000b5bb0 T xmlTextReaderConstName ... Why is it that /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 cannot see or use the symbols in /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.16 ? Am I correct in supposing the bug is in libgnomevfs2 and not in libxml2? I am assuming that openoffice itself is not causing the bug, it's simply trying to use libgnomevfs2.
