Eclipse crashes in libpango (karmic)

Hi

This bug has been fixed in Lucid (the coming release of Ubuntu), however Karmic (9.0) has been frozen for quite a while, so I am not certain I can do much about it in Karmic; I will have ask my co-maintainer the possibility of back-porting eclipse 3.5.2 to karmic.

Small typo: karmic is 9.10. :)

We can't backport 3.5.2. First it will need backporting of around 10 dependencies and second dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) is not supported in karmic. If we want to fix it in karmic, we need to cherry-pick the fix.

Right, I will cherry pick it then. I am reopening this and using it as a
tracker for the progress.

Ah, had not seen this was open for Karmic as well. Reclosing for Lucid.

This upload changes quite a bit more than just fixing this bug, but does not link to corresponding bug reports. Can you please reupload with just one focused patch for this bug, or alternatively reupload with adding the bug references to the other bugs, and preparing the other bugs for SRUs? (Please note that you should _not_ open new bugs; if a bug hasn't been reported already for a particular issue, it's not worth SRUing).

Ah, sorry, mislooked.

Accepted eclipse into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package eclipse - 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu4

Did you push the correction upstream? Because i'm using Eclipse Helios 3.6.1 from Eclipse web site and I still encounter the problem. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with latest updates and Sun Java 6 from the repo.

OK, sorry about my previous comment, discard it please.
I did a full clean and build and it is working. I probably had some part compiled by an earlier release of Eclipse which was not corrected.
So now that everything is clean, I don't reproduce the problem.

I have Eclipse 3.5.2-2ubuntu4.2 installed on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with SUN Java 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04 both are from Lucid repositories.

When I do a full clean and build of my application, it starts and is working. Then if I make a small code modification and restart the application (there is Eclipse autobuild) I get again the Pango problem...
Pango:ERROR:/build/buildd/pango1.0-1.28.0/pango/pango-layout.c:3739:pango_layout_check_lines: assertion failed: (!layout->log_attrs)

This does not seems to be properly corrected.

Note, I get also the problem with the Eclipse Helios 3.6 version from Eclipse web site. Same behaviour. After a full clean and build, it is working. But a tiny change, build and launch breaks it again.

So I have to reopen this bug report. It is not corrected in Eclipse for Lucid 3.5.2-2 neither in the upstream Eclipse 3.6.

@Huygens you are experiencing another issue, please file a new report instead. Thanks in advance.

OK, thanks Jean-Baptiste
