Linphone crashes with segfault since sys update

Hello guys,

i'm a quite new, but happy arch user, but lately, after a -Syu, linphone (latest version, 3.6.1-1) stopped working. I can start it and everything looks fine, but once I try to make a call it just crashes. I called my mobile, and it even starts ringing, but linphone crashes with segfault.
I think it was no linphone update, but another package, which got it broken...
Any ideas?

Re: Linphone crashes with segfault since sys update

Try running it from a terminal, do you get any error mesages when it crashes?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Don't just think.  Check /var/log/pacman.log and know for sure.

Then use /var/cache/pacman/pkg/* to downgrade (for diagnostics only) to pinpoint which package is the culprit.

I ran it from terminal, i just got "segmentation fault"

Don't just think.  Check /var/log/pacman.log and know for sure.

I checked /var/log//var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman.log, and there was no linhphone update, but this got my attention

[2014-03-04 00:35] [PACMAN] upgraded libpulse (4.0-6 -> 5.0-1)
[2014-03-04 00:35] [PACMAN] upgraded lib32-libpulse (4.0-6 -> 5.0-1)
[2014-03-04 00:35] [PACMAN] upgraded pulseaudio (4.0-6 -> 5.0-1)

Seems like a major change. Should I downgrade to be sure?

Re: Linphone crashes with segfault since sys update

Actually found the problem, it was this change:

upgraded mediastreamer (2.9.0-4 -> 2.10.0-1)

With mediastreamer 2.9.0-4 linphone works. Should I fill a bug report?

If I downgrade to other mediastreamer versions I get

linphone: error while loading shared libraries: libzrtpcpp.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And if I copy the current library I get again the same problem.

How do you fix this issue one more time?

Re: Linphone crashes with segfault since sys update

The problem on my installation was the call log, got crazy symbols for some reasons (still getting them) and the application was crashing.
Now have to clear each time the call logs before closing
