[Debian-olpc-devel] Bug#472106: sugar: Segfaults after initially entering name

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: sugar
Version: 0.79.0-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

sugar-emulator (and probably sugar-shell directly as well) segfaults right
after initially typing in a username.

The segfault seems to be in python-cairo 1.4.12 - see bug#472103.



As a workaround, a patched python-cairo is available for i386 and amd64 here:

deb http://debian.jones.dk sid pycairo



It is also available for lenny, although sugar have not yet arrived there:

deb http://debian.jones.dk lenny pycairo



Backports of both fixed python-cairo and all core sugar packages is here:

deb http://debian.jones.dk lenny sugar
