Bug 138585 – yelp 2.14.2-r1 crash

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Jie Luo 2006-06-30 07:59:40 UTC]

When I click Command Line Help --> GNU Info Pages --> Emacs --> Emacs, it crashed. And print following message in the console.

(yelp:21385): Yelp-CRITICAL **: yelp_io_channel_new_file: assertion `file != NULL' failed

(yelp:21385): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_io_channel_read_to_end: assertion `channel != NULL' failed

[Comment 1 Jie Luo 2006-07-03 03:36:20 UTC]

yelp crashed when open "Command Line Help" --> "GNU Info Pages" --> "Emacs" --> "Calc", "Elisp", "Emacs Lisp Intro", "Gnus", "MH-E"

(yelp:2106): Yelp-CRITICAL **: yelp_io_channel_new_file: assertion `file != NULL' failed

(yelp:2106): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_io_channel_read_to_end: assertion `channel != NULL' failed

All these info pages can view correctly through info.

This is not the same as bug 136761. I test the patch they provide, it does not fix this bug.

Can you please try with yelp-2.16?
2.16 has a lot of info and man page displaying related fixes.
Stable 2.16.1 has a lot, and 2.16.2 has a few more. I hope one of them fixes your emacs info page problem.
Please report back, thanks

Marking as NEEDINFO. Please reopen or mark as fixed as appropriate after testing.
Thanks!

These crashes is fixed in 2.16.2, although these info pages still can't read using yelp. But this is another problem.
