[Bug 897465] Re: mythtv-backend segfaults if run without mythtv-frontend

 

This sounds like a situation that there is some library or file in the
mythtv-frontend package that needs to be in mythtv-common instead.
Certainly has happened before.  Will just need to track down what that
is.

Title:
  mythtv-backend segfaults if run without mythtv-frontend

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  To reproduce:

  1. Install brand new Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) i386 system.

  2. Install mythtv-backend, do not install mythtv-frontend.

  3. Try to configure backend with mythtv-setup. It will ask for what
  language you want, but not list any options.

  4. Push enter to continue, mythtv-setup.real will segfault. Or push
  cancel, it the setup will continue regardless.

  5. Install mythtv-frontend. Repeat. mythtv-setup.real will populate
  the language list and work as designed.

  I don't think it should be a requirement that the frontend should be
  installed just to configure the backend.

  Unfortunately, not sure how to get this dialog to reappear now that I
  have it configured, so not sure how to reproduce.
