[Bug 1376051] Re: gpartedbin crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()

[A. Eibach]

to comment 18: 
I am not so sure if the fix inside gparted will be enough. 
I remember that even here on Vivid I had to manually "update" to libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (version 2.44).

The reason for this is that the significant fix was not applied yet in 2.43.x, but in 2.44 : 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/commit/?id=10e24926a149c8dbfbc5853b2d4ff5a4cd50bc4b

Unfortunately, nobody has ever thought about pushing 2.44 to the
standard 'Buntu repos so far.

Title:
  gpartedbin crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()

Status in Gnome Partition Editor:
  Expired
Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gparted source package in Utopic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Program crashes or otherwise has erratic behavior when applying
  operations due to a cross thread write after free that was introduced
  in this upstream release. Upstream has already applied this fix after
  others discovered the issue and verified the fix.

  [Test Case]

  Apply various operations to disk, such as resizing and moving
  filesystems. Sometimes it works, sometimes it crashes. The original
  report below is an example of one way in which it may crash.

  [Regression Potential]

  Minimal; patch already upstream.

  I'm working with vfat.
