Bug 177587 – app-misc/lcd-stuff-0.1.2 dies using mpd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2007-05-08 07:42:46 UTC]

See attachments.

I am adding a blocker to the stabilization bug but this happens on a not-stable system. I can't test on a stable x86 atm. So please remove the blocker if it is none.


My /etc/lcd-stuff.conf:

[rss]
interval=300
number_of_feeds=1

url1=http://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker.rdf
items1=10
name1=Tagesschau

[weather]
name=Wetter
interval=3600
citycode=GMXX0069

[mpd]
name=Music
server=localhost
port=6600
timeout=30

After removing the mpd section lcd-stuff works.

This seems to be a libmpd bug.

Patch to fix mpd-related crashes

Ok, turns out it is NOT a bug in libmpd. lcd-stuff is freeing some internal members of a libmpd struct without NULLing appropriate pointers. Patch attached.

The patch works for me.
