Comment 10 for bug 249156

I have been going around in circles with the KDE developers regarding this problem.

We have confirmed that this problem is NOT a bug in KDE 4.1, it's a bug in Strigi. The problem is that Ubuntu hasn't packaged the version of Strigi that was made to be used with KDE 4.1, instead, the version of Strigi that is included isn't compatible with KDE 4.1.

The Ubuntu developers should upgrade to Strigi 0.5.11 right away. d

The bug report, which all developers should read is here:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164296

Here are some quotes from that bug report from the KDE developers:
---
"You can update up to KDE 4.5 (exagerating), but it won't change the situation.
The bug was in strigi, so what you need to upgrade is *strigi*, at least the version 0.5.11."
---
"Disabling Strigi indexing won't prevent KDE from using libstreams and libstreamanalyser (which are parts of Strigi).

Once again, this bug was fixed in Strigi. If you still experience it, report it to your distribution. That only means they didn't include the patches in Strigi 0.5.9 or that Strigi wasn't updated to 0.5.11."
---
"Dolphin uses libstreamanalyzer to get metadata out of files. libstreamanalyzer is part of strigi. Version 0.5.9 of strigi has a bug that causes a crash when analyzing some avi files. This is fixed in 0.5.11 which was released to be used with KDE 4.1.

A workaround is to delete strigita_avi.so if you have a strigi version older than 0.5.11."

I am urging whomever is in charge of Strigi to upgrade it in Ubuntu 8.04 (or any affected system).
