Description Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-07-24 10:20:40 UTC

yast2 crashed with:

/usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call: line 306: 4673 Aborted (core dumped) $OPT_FBITERM y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_UI_ARGS

I think it doesn't like that there's no catalog or something. Logs attached.

reassigned to Stano, but he is on vacation

Comment 3 Martin Vidner 2006-08-09 08:29:10 UTC

[Interpreter] Packages.ycp:653 Invalid cast of YCP value 'nil'! Should be but is not Integer!

Pkg::SourceCreateBase returned nil, Pkg::SourceProvideFile did not cope with nil as source id. I don't know which of these (or both) should be fixed.

Comment 4 Ladislav Slezák 2006-08-22 11:00:40 UTC

The problem is in the file generated by generateYCPWrappers script.

The generated code looks like this:
return m_instance->CallbackStartProvide(m_param1->asString());

If m_param1 is nil the conversion to string causes abort().

I have a patch ready - the generated code now contains a nil test before conversion. (The other YCP types are checked in compile time.)

Comment 5 Ladislav Slezák 2006-08-22 13:48:28 UTC

Fixed in yast2-core-2.13.30 - there should be an error message in the log now, returned value is nil
