Bug#274333: libgnomeprint 2.8.0 breaks gpdf

[Loïc Minier]

     Hi,

[ this is a followup for Debian bug #274333 ]

 in short: stopping nfs-common shoudl workaround the problem.


 I am experiencing gpdf freezes too, I tried tracing gpdf and the
 gnome-pdf-viewer bonobo server form gdb.  The second produced an
 interesting backtrace when interrupting gnome-pdf-viewer while gpdf was
 freezed:

    Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

 I had once a problem because I did not install the CUPS server (cupsd)
 in package cupsys.  The printer tray icon produced a message after a
 timeout.  This is now fixed in the printer tray icon, but installing
 cupsys sched light on my troubles:
    Unpacking cupsys (from .../cupsys_1.1.20final+rc1-8_i386.deb) ...
    Setting up cupsys (1.1.20final+rc1-8) ...
    Adding group `lpadmin' (109)...
    Done.
    Starting printing system service: cupsdcupsd: Child exited with status 98!
    invoke-rc.d: initscript cupsys, action "start" failed.


    bee# tail /var/log/cups/error_log 
    [...]
    E [06/Oct/2004:16:47:53 +0200] StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address 00000000:631 - Address already in use.
    bee# netstat -anp | grep 631
    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     2993/rpc.statd      

 Stopping nfs-common stopped rpc.statd, and I could start cupsd, and now
 gpdf runs fine.  Actually, cupsd doesn't need to be running, but it
 hangs when gnome-pdf-viewer or a lib it uses tries to talk to
 rpc.statd.

 I have no idea why rpc.statd uses 631, right now I suggest stopping NFS
 as a workaround.
