Description Sven Zielke 2009-08-03 10:41:07 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090714 SUSE/3.5.1-3.1 Firefox/3.5.1

gscan2pdf worked fine, but it does not start anymore. There are no unsolved dependencies, but starting it, I get the following error messages:

Can't locate forks.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 106.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 106.

Manually installing perl-forks and its dependencies ends up with:

Assertion ((sv)->sv_flags & (0x00200000|0x00400000|0x00800000)) failed: file "mg.c", line 88 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Sys/SigAction.pm line 132.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 106.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 106.

The package gscan2pdf is from the home:illuusio-repository, perl-Sys-SigAction from perl-devel.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gscan2pdf
2. Run gscan2pdf from console.

Pretty nasty bug. I'm working on it. Seems to do same thing on X86 and x86_64.

Actually problem was on forks. This little stupid patch fixes things but I don't know why!

Comment 4 Tuukka Pasanen 2009-08-19 08:41:13 UTC

As soon as build.opensuse.org does building this should work again.

Comment 5 Sven Zielke 2009-08-19 14:30:32 UTC

Okay, this looks great. Thanks.
What about the missing dependencies like fork etc., will there be packages in build.opensuse.org?
