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 libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tuxmath-2.0.3-13.mga8.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Source RPM: https://madb.mageia.org/rpm/show/release/8/arch/x86_64/name/tuxmath-2.0.3-13.mga8.src.rpm/source/1/t_media/3 => tuxmath-2.0.3-13.mga8.src.rpm
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!

tuxtype is working on my m8 x86_64 install. Played a game ok. tuxmath segfaults.

And on Cauldron? for me it segfault
I made a mistake. Ran it as root (I'd just installed it using urpmi). As root it works in both m8 and m9. As a regular user it fails. I think it's likely due to root not having sound available (no socket for the sound server in /run). I checked under strace and it is not a permission issue. In my cauldron vb install running "/usr/games/tuxmath --nosound" as a regular user works (with sound playing!). In m8 as a regular user it fails. If that doesn't help narrow down a fix we can apply, then I agree it should be obsoleted.
Interesting adding "--nosound" works for me too on cauldron. And tuxtype on Cauldron works for you if you play a game?
On cauldron it only works with --nosound, or when run as root. When run with --nosound, it does play sound. On m8 it only works when run as root.
i would be in favor of removing it from mga9

+1; remove

If it does not run and it is unmaintained, we should drop it. If it is really needed and updated, we can reimport it - but I guess it will never happen. So, just drop it! It does not help discussing too much about it.
obsoleted.
