Ipodbrowser fails to start with the error message: Can't call method "get_filename" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/podbrowser line 63. Since I had not used podbrowser for some time I cannot tell which update caused this problem. Reinstalling all the dependencies does not fix the problem. Howver, I have found a patch here: http://osdir.com/ml/debian-bugs-dist/2010-05/msg03539.html which fixed the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ podbrowser Can't call method "get_filename" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/podbrowser line 63 2. Apply patch to /usr/bin/podbrowser 3. Podbrowser works!
Created attachment 231345 [details] podbrowser patch Here is the patch
Created attachment 231347 [details] emerge-info And my system's info in case is needed.
I get an error from line 192 without the patch and 205 with it.
Created attachment 231571 [details, diff] podbrowser-0.12-ICON.patch This is the patch I used.
Created attachment 231573 [details] podbrowser-0.12-ebuild.diff

May be the error you get is caused by something else, because here after I applied the patch I get no such error.
I tried the patch but still get icons with red X symbols.

Created attachment 248307 [details] updated ICON patch After updating several gnome packages I found podbrowser not working again. Fortunately with this minor change works again.

A fix was never committed ;) Now 0.12-r1 is patched. Thanks (In reply to comment #9) > I tried the patch but still get icons with red X symbols. Still missing symbols (document with a red cross) and a missing podbrowser.svg(?) warning on startup ("Can't call method "get_filename" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/podbrowser line 205.")
