Public bug reported:

Hi,

I installed gcompris 12.01-0ubuntu1 on an Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS  system and
found it was immediately receiving segmentation fault and not making it
through intialisation when I tried to run it.

Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Release:	12.04

gcompris:
  Installed: 12.01-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 12.01-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 12.01-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

On running it from a terminal to see what was happening I noticed it was
executing a python script (pythontest.py) in my homedir just prior to
the segfault.

I removed the pythontest.py and pythontest.pyc from my homedir and it
started and ran normally. This is weird behaviour so I created another
script to check and it is repeatable:

colin@faerie:~$ gcompris

colin@faerie:~$ cat pythontest.py
#!/usr/bin/python
print("something1")
print("something1")
print("something1")
print("something1")
print("something1")
print("something1")

Renaming the script to "somethingelse.py" or even "pythontesting.py"
prevents it being executed. I attached an strace. The salient section
would appear to be:

stat("pythontest", 0x7fff7a2ddaf0)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("pythontest.so", O_RDONLY)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("pythontestmodule.so", O_RDONLY)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("pythontest.py", O_RDONLY)         = 18

I guess this is some sort of unit testing code left in the package.
Definitely a bug though.

** Affects: gcompris (Ubuntu)
