[thunderbird] segfaults on aarch64

Postby cosmin » Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:19 pm

Thunderbird has been crashing at startup on my aarch64 system since upgrading to 60.5.1-2. 60.5.2-1 does the same. It's segfaulting somewhere in $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so'), but without debugging symbols I can't really investigate further. I've also tried removing my old profile from ~/.thunderbird and letting it generate a clean one, but the same thing happens.

What about to downgrade to a stable version ?
But I feel it's all about xul library.

60.5.3-1-aarch64 is still broken

Edit: can't downgrade thunderbird on its own because the dependencies silently break.

I have had the same issue ever since Thunderbird 60 was in beta for aarch64 - I would love to find a resolution to the problem. Are there are tests that can be run to point to what the underlying problem is?

I had my original report at:

This seems to be a possible related thread:

Please, if you (or any others) have the time, try the scripts indicated in the thunderbird bug issue
to get the devs the info they'd like to have.

Unfortunately, I haven't an ounce of time to do such yet for many many weeks.

cheers

Hmm, my initial thread is apparently blocked, so I'll drop mention here
as stated https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.c ... 486705#c23

Although I didn't have time personally to do these scripts, the good news seems
that today, under 5.0.11-1-ARCH #1 SMP Fri May 3 01:14:14 UTC 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux and

thunderbird 60.6.1-2
thunderbird-i18n-fr 60.6.1-1

I've been able to use thunderbird so far without SEGV, even when opening attachments.

I'll report back if things take a change for the worse.

cheers,

Richard
