Status in “amanda” source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in “amanda” package in Debian:

Bug description:
  amtape crashes with the following output

  **
  ERROR:glib-util.c:45:glib_init: assertion failed: (!g_thread_supported())
  Aborted (core dumped)

  lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu precise (development branch)
  Release:        12.04

  apt-cache policy amanda-server
  amanda-server:
    Installed: 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1 0
          500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  [Impact]

  A broad range of amanda-server executables (e.g. amtape, amlabel,
  amcheck, and amcheckdump) and dynamic libraries used internally by
  Amanda (e.g. libDevice.so) abort with this "assertion failed" message.
  This renders the amanda-server package completely inoperable under
  Precise.

  [Test Case]

  Run the following commands as root.

  apt-get install amanda-server
  amtape

  [Regression Potential]

  It's difficult to regress from inoperable. See http://git.io/rv0chA
  for the original commit message for the cherry-picked patch.
