Based on the available evidence, this is a general mono issue vs. an issue with f-spot itself. Reassigning to mono.
** Summary changed: - f-spot seems wrongly packaged / unusable for armel + mono segfaults on ARM ** Package changed: f-spot (Ubuntu) => mono (Ubuntu) ** Description changed: + Mono on ARM currently appears to be unusable. Installing any *-cli + package causes a large number of segfaults, as well as running any + installed mono application (such as f-spot). At the very least, + installation of *-cli packages should not succeed if the installation of + the assembly fails. + + Test Case: + 1. Install f-spot on ARM (it is not a part of ubuntu-desktop on ARM) + 2. Obverse of the series of segfaults installing the mono stack + 3. Run f-spot + + Original Bug Report: Binary package hint: f-spot Installing f-spot on armel installs a load of Win32 PE executables (.exe, .dll) and seems to rely on executing these to work. dpkg prints out a load of "illegal instruction" errors when trying to configure the package, but the package is erroneously marked as successfully configured after installation. It looks like f-spot and related packages (*mono* etc.) should not be packaged for armel at all, or ARM-targeted binaries need to be built (if this is supported by the source packages; apparently, mono can support ARM but I don't have much experience of these packages). The affected binary packages seem to be: f-spot libart2.24-cil libflickrnet2.1.5-cil libgconf2.24-cil libglade2.0-cil libglib2.0-cil libgnome2.24-cil libgnome-keyring1.0-cil libgnome-vfs2.24-cil libgtk2.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libmono-addins0.2-cil libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil libmono-cairo2.0-cil libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-data2.0-cil libmono-data-tds2.0-cil libmono-getoptions2.0-cil libmono-i18n2.0-cil libmono-posix2.0-cil libmono-security2.0-cil libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil libmono-sqlite2.0-cil libmono-system2.0-cil libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil libndesk-dbus-glib1.0-cil mono-2.0-gac ** Tags added: f-spot -- mono segfaults on ARM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
