[Bug 862553] Re: Latest libcanberra update causes Firefox and Thunderbird to crash on startup

[Paul White]

Re-installing libcanberra-gtk-module_0.28-0ubuntu8_i386.deb results in
working applications again.

Tested with Thunderbird, Firefox, gVim and Emacs.

Title:
  Latest libcanberra update causes Firefox and Thunderbird to crash on
  startup

Status in “libcanberra” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After updating to the most recent version of libcanberra on my Kubuntu
  Oneiric system, neither Firefox nor Thunderbird will launch
  successfully.  Both crash on startup.  Both produces the following
  error message when launched from a terminal:

  symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-
  module.so: undefined symbol: gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored

  Reverting to the previous version of libcanberra causes Firefox and
  Thunderbird to work normally once again.
