Bug 110555 – unison-2.17.1: Assertion failed when diffing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin von Gagern 2005-10-26 08:52:59 UTC]

Running unison over ssh between two gentoo machines, I get a list of
differences. there are two files that are marked as "props" on the local side
and "changed" on the remote side. The action column contains a question mark.
Clicking on diff results in a fatal error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. sync two machines using unison
2. edit any file on remote machine
3. touch the same file on local machine
4. (re)start unison
5. select this file
6. click "Diff"

Actual Results:  
Dialog Box:
Caption: "unison"
Headline: "Fatal error"
Message:
Uncaught exception File
"/var/tmp/portage/unison-2.17.1/work/unison-2.17.1/common.ml", line 172,
characters 6-12: Assertion failed


Expected Results:  
Dialog box displaying output from diff.

I just got another exception when diffing files:

Caption: "unison"
Headline: "Fatal error"
Message:
Uncaught exception Glib.Critical("Gtk", "gtk_paint_box: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed")

This time I tried to run diff after I had synced all other files.

Solved by net-misc/unison-2.27.29, see bug #183019 for bump request.
