libgphoto2-2 segmentation fault on intrepid

Can you still reproduce this? If you open a terminal and run

  /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list

does that crash? If so, please enable apport with

  sudo gedit /etc/default/apport

and set enabled=1, then

  sudo /etc/init.d/apport start

then run /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list again, and report the crash through apport. This will file a new bug. Thanks!

I can reproduce this but not with the command above. The print-camera-list runs successfully.

1) "dpkg --audit" tells me that libgphoto2-2 isn't configured
2) "dpkg --configure libgphoto20-2" gives seg fault

tom@laptop:~$ dpkg --audit
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 libsane API library for scanners
 nautilus-share Nautilus extension to share folder using Samba
 hpijs HP Linux Printing and Imaging - gs IJS driver (hpijs)
 nautilus-cd-burner CD Burning front-end for Nautilus
 gvfs-backends userspace virtual filesystem - backends
 nautilus file manager and graphical shell for GNOME
 ubuntu-desktop The Ubuntu desktop system
 gthumb an image viewer and browser
 f-spot personal photo management application
 hplip HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP)
 xsane featureful graphical frontend for SANE (Scanner Access No
 foomatic-db-hpijs OpenPrinting printer support - database for HPIJS driver

The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
 libgphoto2-2 gphoto2 digital camera library

tom@laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure libgphoto2-2
Setting up libgphoto2-2 (2.4.2-0ubuntu3) ...

Can you try with

   /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list hal-fdi

instead? If that still doesn't crash, does

  sudo /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list hal-fdi

crash? If still not (that would be very weird), please do

  sudo sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgphoto2-2.postinst configure

and copy&paste the output here.

It seems to crash in lt_dlinit(). I installed all debug symbols, but can't unfortunately get a symbolic stack trace for the topmost frames.

Can you please do

  /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list --debug hal-fdi > /dev/null 2>/tmp/debug-output.txt

and attach /tmp/debug-output.txt here? Also, please give the output of

  ldd /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list

Thanks!
