This crash seems completely internal to glib. It's because of an assert that an internal callback is called with the same connection it was started with.

I don't see another bug about this to dup, so I'm switching tasks to glib.

Hello Arie, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib2.0 into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.34.1-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, I've just noticed the errors.u.c entry reports against the indicator-messages package, and not against glib2.0; this means we can't easily verify that the crashes have stopped with the new version of glib2.0. Can someone please provide a reproducible test case?

This becomes more urgent to release now that banshee was accidently released into quantal-updates with a dependency on this newer glib.

I checked a lot of reports on the linked e.u.c page and none had the proposed glib installed. Given the sheer number though, and the absence of any way to programatically query the error tracker, I can only hope to look at a tiny fraction manually.

I'll call this v-done and someone on the SRU team can disagree and do something else (remove) about banshee if they like.

Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.34.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
glib2.0 (2.34.1-1ubuntu1) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * Rebase on Debian experimental. (LP: #1067763)
  * Add back 91_revert_pcre_8.31_test.patch and lower the pcre dependency back
    to >= 8.30. This needs to be kept until we get pcre 8.31 into Ubuntu.
  * Restore dependency on libelf-dev. Following Debian entails a dependency on
    libelfg0 which will break multi-arch glib as this library is not
    multi-arched yet.
