Hi, I've been using Balsa for a long time. Some recent upgrading of libraries which Balsa uses make it crash when I try to send an email. Having built balsa and glib with debugging info I : Balsa -> Compose (fill out fields) -> Send gives Thread 1 "balsa" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff23a4691 in g_main_context_prepare (context=0x77fbf0, priority=0x7fffffffc8e8) at /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.52.3/work/glib-2.52.3/glib/gmain.c:3529 3529 prepare = source->source_funcs->prepare; p *source $1 = {callback_data = 0x0, callback_funcs = 0x0, source_funcs = 0x7fffd2910880, ref_count = 3, context = 0x77fbf0, priority = 0, flags = 1, source_id = 688, poll_fds = 0x0, prev = 0xd97d50, next = 0x1142e00, name = 0x0, priv = 0x97df40} p *(source->source_funcs) Cannot access memory at address 0x7fffd2910880 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (gdb) where #0 0x00007ffff23a4691 in g_main_context_prepare (context=0x77fbf0, priority=0x7fffffffc8e8) at /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.52.3/work/glib-2.52.3/glib/gmain.c:3529 #1 0x00007ffff23a4fef in g_main_context_iterate (context=0x77fbf0, block=1, dispatch=1, self=0x774660) at /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.52.3/work/glib-2.52.3/glib/gmain.c:3952 #2 0x00007ffff23a54fd in g_main_loop_run (loop=0xd97dc0) at /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.52.3/work/glib-2.52.3/glib/gmain.c:4168 #3 0x00007ffff3b2a1fd in gtk_main () from /usr/lib64/libgtk-3.so.0 #4 0x00007fffffffca00 in ??

After a long time of hunting I have found the culprit. This crash occurs if and only if app-text/enchant-1.6.1 is installed. Downgrading to app-text/enchant-1.6.0 make this bug go away. Since several packages which depend on app-text/enchant, like geany, are working with app-text/enchant-1.6.1 this is probably a bug in Balsa. Perhaps, Balsa should depend on <=app-text/enchant-1.6.0 until the bug in Balsa is found.
Is this still a problem? I have balsa (git master - so I don't know when it got fixed) working with enchant 2.1.1 (although there is still a tracking bug for the ABI changes with enchant >= 2.0 - https://bugs.gentoo.org/629838

Meanwhile I could solve all problems with other packages caused by enchant-2 .
Please try with mail-client/balsa-2.5.6-r1
I can confirm this bug (with 2.5.6-r1 also) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/issues/6
Is this still relevant, or has it been fixed with more recent versions?
(In reply to Jack from comment #6) > Is this still relevant, or has it been fixed with more recent versions? I'm using the current GIT version which doesn't have this problem any more.
So should this finally be closed? I suppose the optimal would be RESOLVED FIXED if someone is sure which version fixed the problem, or else WORKSFORME?
Closing as fixed then. A newer version of balsa also explicitly makes sure a problematic enchant version isn't used, however I don't think that check hits with our gspell option choice for spell checker. But our gspell uses enchant:2 these days anyhow.
