Bug Description

I am opening this bug for 1.40 specifically. Bug #457688 exists for 1.38, but is still present in lucid's 1.40.\\

Some programs (using static class attributes) will fail at startup.

Please apply patch in https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa/+packages (https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa/+files/boost1.40_1.40.0-2ubuntu2_1.40.0-2ubuntu3.diff.gz) to the version in lucid archives. It is confirmed that it works.

Boost 1.41 has the fix upstream already.

Actually, your diff.gz looks like a well formatted debdiff. I have not tested it yet, but am subscribing the sponsoring team since you are cherry picking a single upstream bug fix (SVN r53731) and a FFE is probably not necessary. Thanks again!

Patched karmic & lucid binary packages are in the https://launchpad.net/~yade-users/+archive/external ppa, if someone needs that.

This bug appears to persist in Lucid beta1. python-visual aka vpython segfaults immediately.

Everything except the python2.6.4.patch was applied. If you need this patch, please update the debdiff and resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors.

@benjamin: python2.6.4 is exactly the patch that fixes this bug. Do you mean that we should provide debdiff containing _only_ the python2.6.4 patch?

Benjamin is saying that there have been uploads to boost1.40 after this debdiff was made. Those uploads fixed the python 2.6 transition, but did not fix the python2.6.4 patch

Here is a refreshed debdiff, as Benjamin requested, containing only the python2.6.4 patch and a refreshing of the remaining patches.
