#173317 — Synaptic NMU upload in testing

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

Yesterday, version 0.83+nmu1 of synaptic migrated to testing.  All fine
and dandy, until I tried to run it:  Nothing, nada, zip.

Trying from command line revealed that Synaptic was looking for a xapian
function that was/is unavailable to it.  Error reported is -

terminate called after throwing an instance of
'Xapian::FeatureUnavailableError' Aborted

No idea what's missing (libxapian updated to v30)

Synaptic 0.83+b1 still works.

It is working fine for me.

A sort of 'good news / bad news' scenario:  Good news for you, bad news
for me.

In any case, thanks for letting me know.  It's useful.

Same.

I have similar to lines yours in sources.list, too.

> % su-to-root -X -c synaptic

The same.

So, this points to a local problem, it seems.  I tried installing
xapian-tools (I don't routinely install suggests/recommends), no change.

Frankly, I've no idea where to go from here.

Thanks again for replying.

If you don't mind, I won't do that, since I've managed to get synaptic
working now.  Based on what I've done today, it would serve little
purpose to paste the requested outputs here.  Plus, I'm a little
reluctant to post large(ish) text files to the list, as not everyone
likes such things.

I had done a little searching yesterday, but couldn't get any hits for
the exact error I was getting, so dismissed the solutions offered.
However, during more extended searching today, one suggestion kept
cropping up;
 'as root, run "update-apt-xapian-index"'.

Although that was usually suggested in reference to the following
problem; 'Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError Aborted (core dumped)'

I decided to run the command anyway.  I then upgraded synaptic to
0.83+nmu1, which now runs.

>> xapian-tools (I don't routinely install suggests/recommends), no

>I do not have xapian-tools installed. So that may not be the issue.

That's was my point.  Probably poorly expressed.

Your help with this problem is greatly appreciated.  I would not have
solved this without your pushing me along.  In the process, you've taught
me some useful lessons to help trace problems.  For that, I'm doubly
grateful.

Interesting. Good to know.

Thanks for the kind words. I also learned about
update-apt-xapian-index command. So it is mutually beneficial!

Brad just wanted to let you know your not the only one, I did a 
'safe-upgrade' the other day using sid/testing and my nvidia 304 blew-up 
with a segfault, installing the debian free driver did not help, back to 
the debian nvidia driver, 'plasma is unable to start as could not 
correctly use opengl 2', I sacrificed a second good plasma system with 
today's fully clean upgrade, same problem.  Problem was solved with 
installing 'task-xfce-desktop', I look forward for solutions to the 
plasma dilemma.

Yeah, there's always something.   :-(

WRT that, are you following the thread started by David Baron - "Nvida
Legacy 304 Catastrophe"?  It /may/ prove helpful.
