In order to get a fix deployed for a stable release like oneiric, there are a few things that need to be done here on this bug report.
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/ for the full details. 1. Update the bug report with the following sections: * An [Impact] section explaining the severity and frequency of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix to the stable release * A [Development Fix] section with an explanation of how the bug has been addressed in the development branch, including the relevant version numbers of packages modified in order to implement the fix. * A [Stable Fix] section pointing out a minimal patch applicable to the stable version of the package. If preparing a patch is likely to be time-consuming, it may be preferable to get a general approval from the SRU team first. * A [Test Case] section with detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug. These should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. * A [Regression Potential] section with a discussion of likelihood and potential severity of regressions and how users could get inadvertently affected. 2. Get the branch reviewed and uploaded to oneiric-proposed 3. Subscribe the ubuntu-sru team 4. Once the upload has been approved by archive admins, test the actual binaries and follow up in the bug report with test verification. ** Also affects: gst-plugins-base0.10 (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris J Arges (christopherarges) ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-base0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885502 Title: Rhythmbox crash with SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) when trying to use mp3 player Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Fix Released Status in “gst-plugins-base0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gst-plugins-base0.10” source package in Oneiric: New Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Oneiric: In Progress Bug description: 64-bit Rhythmbox calls 32-bit libgstpbutils-0.10.so.0.24.0 (gstreamer) whilst 64-bit library is available.
