[LUG] Need Ubuntu Intrepid user to test a bug in Anjuta

 

Earlier versions of Ubuntu are not relevant here (have the same versions
of the relevant library as Debian which I've already tested).

I need someone who is running (or can run in a VM etc.) Ubuntu Intrepid
{GNOME flavour} and install Anjuta (an IDE for GNOME) and follow the
steps to reproduce a particular bug : 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549808

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495144

If you get *the same crash*, please don't let bug buddy send a report.
Instead, copy the data bug-buddy collects and send it to the Debian bug
report (or to me) with clear data on the various versions of
dependencies (preferably using the same kind of format as reportbug
would normally use).

Unless you get a crash in exactly the same manner, I'm not particularly
bothered what happens because Debian and Ubuntu are not *that* close and
Ubuntu bug trackers are fairly poor for this kind of comparison process
(mainly because most Ubuntu bugs never get any sensible replies or
debugging activity).

(e.g. one anjuta bug in Ubuntu is "fixed" by renaming libfoo.so.0 to
libfoo.so.1 ..... anyone like to guess why that is such a truly
ludicrous solution????)

Please don't bother sending stuff unless you either get no crash or the
same crash.

The crash needs to be reproducible too so keep things around and install
anjuta-dbg to get a more sensible backtrace.
