Package: adesklets
Version: 0.6.1-3
Severity: important

Recently updated adesklets 0.6.1-3 binary builds are broken out of the box for most normal uses, because they were compiled with special purpose --enable-debug configure switch. From adesklets_0.6.1-3.diff.gz (debian/rules):

+./configure --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
+               --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
+               --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info \
+               --without-perl-support --enable-debug \
+               CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" || (cat config.log; exit 1)

With this switch on, adesklets generates a lot of debugging lines interfering with normal operation, unless the ADESKLETS_LOG environment variable is also set to collect the debug info separately (as warned by configure).

The consequence is that most users upgrading to version 0.6.1-r3 will see something like this when invoking the launcher:

$ adesklets
Frontend signature not detected: try to execve it.

(last line is already debug line). Then nothing further will occur, because the forked desklets will bail out due of the intermixed debug messages.

Optimal solution is to remove the switch from the build process altogether; a workaround with the current builds is to set ADESKLETS_LOG in the environment; something in the line of:

export ADESKLETS_LOG=/tmp/alog

Beware that adesklets used this way will be slower, and that the /tmp/alog.pid* files might become quite large over time.
