Binary package hint: hipo
if i plug an ipod formated under itunes, with the latest firmware and then open hipo, i get a crash in the program:
sourcer@ideafix:~$ hipo

if hipo is already open and plug the same ipod, the report is similar, but hipo doen't crash:

It shouldn't give this awful error, or even crash i think hipo should pop up a dialog window informing the user about the problem and optionally a solution like format the ipod with a supported database version.
And hopefully instead of this last suggestion, just support newer databases, like banshee or rhythmbox does.

by the way, banshee said the database version is 20 and hipo 24
Thanks for your report, i guess that should be supported. I'll try with a newer libipod-cil ; which version of libipod-cil do you have installed? that's for sure a crash in that librar. probably because of a not supported bd, but as i said that should be supported, anyways more info would be nice.
