aborting...

Oh, wait. It works after I install gnopernicus and reboot, and continues to work
after un-installing gnopernicus. I should do a fresh install and try again ...

well, in my case there was missing some more dependencies... like at-spi.

I got:
$ gok
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08095431 ***

But like #1, installing gcopernicus helped. The gok package should depend on
gcopernicus then.

This is a pretty big accessibility blocker. I think there is a case for an

I was having the same problem but I solved it by installing the at-spi package:

% sudo apt-get install at-spi

So it seems that gok should list the at-spi package as a dependency.

Matt, is it ok to upload the dependency change to breezy-updates? (just adding
at-spi?)

at-spi is in main and available on the same architectures as gok, so I see no
problem with this. Let me know when it has been uploaded to breezy-updates

i just installed gok and at-spi on a pristine breezy system and I still got the
same error messages. Installing gnopernicus (which depends on at-spi also) made
the error messages go away. The upload to breezy-updates will add at-spi AND
gnopernicus.

Adding Gnopernicus as a dep to GOK is totally broken. You do not need
Gnopernicus to run GOK. Please reopen the bug and fix the dependency problem
properly.

I think the problem now is that gok needs libgail-gnome-module as a dependency -
I guess I installed that when I was trying to get GOK running in the first
place. I don't have time to install ubuntu from scratch to test this out, sorry.

The current 'fix' is totally wrong, I agree with Ben. GOK does NOT DEPEND ON
GNOPERNICUS. There's something else wrong in your package dependency chain.

GOK should not require libgail-gnome either.

I believe that GOK ONLY requires gtk+, libgnome, at-spi, gail and the
sub-dependencies thereof. Strictly speaking it doesn't require gail either, but
in actual fact not much will work as expected without it because the other
application' accessibility requires gail.

PLEASE REOPEN THIS BUG as the current fix is not correct at all.

I just tested it again and was not able to reproduce the problems with just
having gok, at-spi and libgail-gnome-module installed.

Is everybody alright with just adding "at-spi and libgail-gnome-module" or do
other problems exist?

Daniel, could you fix this in the breezy-updates upload as well? Looking at this bug, I don't really want to approve it since the breezy-updates upload has:

-Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
+Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, at-spi, gnopernicus

The package in Dapper has libgail-gnome-module as a dependency too. Sorry to be a pain about this, but shouldn't the dependencies match up? If not, let me know and I'll approve your upload.

libgail-gnome-module doesn't seem to be a dependency of gok in Dapper any more, so I've accepted this breezy-updates upload. Thanks.
