ABS build of pavucontrol crashes on startup

Morn · 2015-03-15 14:21:23

I'm trying to build pavucontrol from ABS on on x86_64. Compiling works fine, but the resulting binary immediately crashes at startup.

Given that the pavucontrol binaries in the repo are from November 2013, could someone please confirm that a rebuilt pavucontrol works for them on 64 bit?

Here is the gdb output. The crash is in libgtkmm apparently.

Hi Morn,

I just tried to build pavucontrol using ABS and I can confirm that it compiles fine but the resulting executable crashes.

Here there is the coredump

Thanks, mauritiusdadd! So it looks like this package is really broken then.
