Description sturmvogel 2022-01-01 17:13:13 CET
Description of problem:
Tuxmath is unmaintained since a decade. The original project page is no longer reachable http://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31080
Also we have no maintainer for it.

At Mageia Cauldron x86_64 Plasma it crashes directly with:
[cauldron@localhost ~]$ LC_ALL=C tuxmath
Initializing Tux4Kids-Common 0.1.1
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

At Mageia 8 x86_64 Plasma it crashes directly with:
[ich@laptop ~]$ LC_ALL=C tuxmath
Initializing Tux4Kids-Common 0.1.1

Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2022-01-03 20:35:19 CET
Thank you for the report.
Last line of console O/P is in English:
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I confirm the fault for tuxmath-2.0.3-13.mga8.x86_64.rpm . In the light of:
> Tuxmath is unmaintained since a decade.
> The original project page is no longer reachable
it looks sensible to drop the package forthwith. Clearly it is not solicited, given the time that M8 had been out..

Assigning to all packagers given the lack of a specific maintainer.

All distributions dropped tuxmath except Mageia and Fedora.

Also on Fedora tuxmath is not working:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2031642


Solution: Drop it in Cauldron!

Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 9
Priority: Normal => release_blocker
Severity: normal => critical

Found this: https://github.com/tux4kids/tuxmath

Tried to build it, but it failed miserably.
