Description of problem:
 
Today, gnome-calculator start to crash or fail 
 
This is the last part of the message in terminal
 
 
 ../libsoup/soup-connection-manager.c:84):soup_host_free: runtime check
 failed: (host->conns == NULL)
 
 But the full version is similar to the upstream report in the link
 
 To reproduce
 
 1. open gnome-calculator in terminal
 2. try to make some operation resize,minimize,restore the window
 3. the application will crash or freeze

Sorry for the bad initial information

Summary: gnome-boxes crash or freeze => gnome-calculator crash or freeze
Source RPM: gnome-boxes => gnome-calculator

Update to new version could be out of question
Need libadwaita >=1.4 and that need new gtk

Possible alternatives qalculate-gtk or qalculate-qt

The UI comes up but do not react on anything - not even the close button. This is under Plasma, X11.

What update made it start to fail?

---

We have several calculators packaged...

I believe galculator, mate-calc, kalk (Plasma) and kcalc (KDE) are more close to gnome-calculator.  There is also the less good looking xcalc.

My favourite calculator is speedcrunch, which use text mode similar to  qalculate-*.

And then we have some console mode and advanded math tools...

I think this is a duplicate of bug33540 and this patch,
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/-/commit/31d415ca44349fe8c4d2e0b2fb56f84501ec9524.patch ,
is the patch that should fix it.

Thank you making a test build to check

Nyet, when I try to make a conversion between USD to MXN the conversion selector 
goes to /dev/null and not comeback

This is the last I get after

I've been unclear; the patch prevents gnome-calculator from crashing, but it doesn't address other issues, :(.

Thank you Aurelian both for the patch, and comment 10 about it.
The patch ref in comment 7 is equivalent to:
 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33540#c3

Can we not apply that and fix both bugs?
More obscure faults like "a conversion between USD to MXN" are better reported upstream.

Not my decision but I disagree that just mask the issue the conversion selector was working

The gnome-calculator issues with libsoup are fixed in version >= 46 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calculator/-/tags/46.alpha (But not see if is for newer versions of libsoup)

And report upstream will produce "use a newer version"

I think we should go with latest libsoup 3.4.x series with 3.4.5!

Morgan the tip on the errata have the same side effect that patch libsoup
The difference is terminal not produce message when the conversion selector
go to /dev/null

I enhanced the explanation there a bit now.

Maybe I do not understand - is it more than currency conversion that do not work?

I find it usable as calculator.


There do seem to be some issue: for any change in settings dialogue the output in terminal is

** (gnome-calculator:467887): CRITICAL **: 09:25:33.985: history_view_set_serializer: assertion 'self != NULL' failed

- But the setting works.

The CLI version, gcalccmd, also fail updating rates - but do not crash.  Downloading rates or not is controlled by the same setting as for gnome-calculator.
