I created bug report 769
(
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=769).
Basically, on one particular computer I am able to get Ark
to crash consistently.
Yesterday I started tinkering with building my packages
with separate debug packages rather than building the
debugging symbols into one package. I figure outside of the
devs and packagers most end-users are not interested in that
support. :(
Today on that same computer I installed new packages for
kdelibs, kdebase, and kdeutils: six packages instead of
three.
Now I can't get Ark to crash.
1. I don't pretend to understand the nuances of debugging
symbols, but by splitting the debug symbols into a separate
package, could I have resolved the bug? Does that make
sense?
