[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 390591] Re: mono segfaults on ARM

[Michael Casadevall]

Based on the available evidence, this is a general mono issue vs. an
issue with f-spot itself. Reassigning to mono.

** Summary changed:

- f-spot seems wrongly packaged / unusable for armel
+ mono segfaults on ARM

** Package changed: f-spot (Ubuntu) => mono (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

+ Mono on ARM currently appears to be unusable. Installing any *-cli
+ package causes a large number of segfaults, as well as running any
+ installed mono application (such as f-spot). At the very least,
+ installation of *-cli packages should not succeed if the installation of
+ the assembly fails.
+ 
+ Test Case:
+ 1. Install f-spot on ARM (it is not a part of ubuntu-desktop on ARM)
+ 2. Obverse of the series of segfaults installing the mono stack
+ 3. Run f-spot
+ 
+ Original Bug Report:
  Binary package hint: f-spot
  
  Installing f-spot on armel installs a load of Win32 PE executables
  (.exe, .dll) and seems to rely on executing these to work.
  
  dpkg prints out a load of "illegal instruction" errors when trying to
  configure the package, but the package is erroneously marked as
  successfully configured after installation.
  
  It looks like f-spot and related packages (*mono* etc.) should not be
  packaged for armel at all, or ARM-targeted binaries need to be built (if
  this is supported by the source packages; apparently, mono can support
  ARM but I don't have much experience of these packages).
  
  The affected binary packages seem to be:
  f-spot
