Description Pierre Fortin 2012-09-17 02:21:46 CEST 
The "rpmdrake" program crashed. Drakbug-14.22.2 caught it.

Selected several Video packages.  Selected vlc tainted, then unselected it. Help->Help intending to see what down-arrow in blue circle meant = crash.

Can't use string ("pfortin") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/libDrakX/run_program.pm line 64.

Comment 1 Pierre Fortin 2012-09-17 02:25:44 CEST 
Turns out, simply starting mcc, Install & Remove Software, Help->Help crashes. 

The "rpmdrake" program has crashed with the following error:

  Can't use string ("pfortin") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/libDrakX/run_program.pm line 64.

It would be very useful to attach to your report the output of the following command: 'lspcidrake -v'.

BTW, mcc generates a LOT of errors when started from a konsole.
Comment 2 Pierre Fortin 2012-09-17 02:27:39 CEST 
Even simpler: mcc, Help->Help crashes. 

The "drakconf.real" program has crashed with the following error:
