[Bug 338217] Re: scim-bridge crashed with SIGSEGV in scim::Module::unload() - fixed by "rm -Rf ~/.scim/"

[Rolf Leggewie]

Mario, the first time this bug was reported is over two years ago.
Upstream is more or less dead.  Ubuntu has moved to ibus.

This is a serious problem, but with an easy enough fix.  Feel free to
send a patch if you disagree with the proposed solution.  I wish we
could come up with a proper patch.  But as things stand that is
extremely unlikely to ever going to happen.  Therefore, the best way to
deal with this is to document the problem and the workaround and let the
user handle it.

There's more rewarding fish to fry and most of them are easier to catch
for the people who actually have the skills for properly fix this.  Even
if there was a fix, in the light of things, it may be bloat.  I honestly
believe that "rm -Rf ~/.scim" is the most appropriate way this problem
should be handled, if and when it occurs.  That's my jugment as the
Debian maintainer of the scim (not the scim-bridge) package.  You're
entitled to have a different opinion, of course, and I would respect
that.
