Re: [Help-gnunet] gnunet-gtk crash in Ubuntu Gutsy package

[Christian Grothoff]

I think this should be reported to the Debian and/or Ubuntu maintainers.  I 
don't see how or why gnunet-update would not terminate, but changing the 
script to do "gnunet-update || true" should do the trick.

As for the crashes, if they are reproduceable with symbols using a recent 
version of GNUnet, please report them to Mantis -- including how to reproduce 
the issue(s).
