Package: gnucash Version: 1:4.4-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Upstream devs have requested a stack trace from me, which is documented here: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace Running “aptitude search gnucash” indicates that there are no packages named gnucash-dbg, contrary to what the wiki suggests. Ubuntu apparently has a gnucash-dbg package. The man page has no DEBUGGING section, but ENVIRONMENT mentions a GNC_DEBUG variable without saying how to use it. Since it’s a boolean, I tried running GC this way: $ GNC_DEBUG=1 gnucash --debug $my_data_file I made it crash, but there is no stack dump so it’s unclear if I correctly guessed how to use that variable. This is the full complete and total output from that command: ===8<------------------------------ Found Finance::Quote version 1.50. Gdk-Message: 09:28:51.919: Lost connection to Wayland compositor. ===8<------------------------------ It may actually be enough information to troubleshoot the particular bug I’m working on, but this output is too minimal. In fact, it’s the same output as running with no debugging options. A /tmp/gnucash.trace file was created but it’s empty. The man page also mentions: --log Log level overrides, of the form "log.ger.path={debug,info,warn,crit,error}" This option can be specified multiple times. This syntax is bizarre and confusing. Is “log.ger.path” supposed to be typed literally, or is that supposed to be replaced with something else? Is that whole equality string then passed as a space-separated argument following --log? The lack of gnucash-dbg package implies that users need to recompile gnucash to get debugging symbols, IIUC. The /etc/share/docs/gnucash/README file refers us here for building: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building But that wiki page above has no Debian-specific instructions. Debian has a unique way of downloading source and building (unlike tarballs) which uses Debian’s package management system. It seems we either need a gnucash-dbg package, or Debian building instructions-- ideally both. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-16-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnucash depends on: ii gnucash-common 1:4.4-1 ii guile-3.0 3.0.5-4 ii guile-3.0-libs 3.0.5-4 ii libaqbanking44 6.2.10-1 ii libboost-filesystem1.74.0 1.74.0-9 ii libboost-locale1.74.0 1.74.0-9 ii libboost-program-options1.74.0 1.74.0-9 ii libboost-regex1.74.0 [libboost-regex1.74.0-icu67] 1.74.0-9 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u3 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-5 ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.73.06-1+b3 ii libdate-manip-perl 6.83-1 ii libdbi1 0.9.0-6 ii libfinance-quote-perl 1.50~rc2-2 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.2+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.24-4+deb11u2 ii libgwengui-gtk3-79 5.6.0-2 ii libgwenhywfar79 5.6.0-2 ii libhtml-tableextract-perl 2.15-1.1 ii libhtml-tree-perl 5.07-2 ii libicu67 67.1-7 ii libofx7 1:0.9.15-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.46.2-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.46.2-3 ii libpython3.9 3.9.2-1 ii libsecret-1-0 0.20.4-2 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 2.36.4-1~deb11u1 ii libwww-perl 6.52-1 ii libxml2 2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u2 ii perl 5.32.1-4+deb11u2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2+deb11u1 Versions of packages gnucash recommends: ii gnucash-docs 4.4-1 ii python3-gnucash 1:4.4-1 ii yelp 3.38.3-1 Versions of packages gnucash suggests: pn libdbd-mysql <none> pn libdbd-pgsql <none> pn libdbd-sqlite3 <none> -- no debconf information
