I will look into debugging symbols. I need to figure out how to package those.
Okay, I discovered an inconsistency. Please try installing debug symbols through package org.claws_mail.Claws_Mail.Debug
. Although you might still be missing some debug symbols, though maybe not an issue for your case.
I am not sure why the naming is inconsistent. Check flatpak remote-info -m flathub org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail
to view for yourself which extensions there are and what names they have.
@crass the test build in comment https://github.com/flathub/org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail/pull/20#issuecomment-926896111 allows you to install a package with the additional debug symbols. This is assuming that your issues persist with package 3.18.0
, of course.
I've been able to install the debug symbols as you've suggested by changing Claws-Mail
to Claws_Mail
from the main flathub repository.

I'm confused by this comment because I didn't need to install from the testing repository. Maybe because I waited sufficiently long enough for it to be rolled out to the main repo?
I've also noticed that it seems that this only includes debug symbols for the Claws-Mail binary, but not any of the libraries it uses. For instance, libetpan has no debug symbols. And another issue that I haven't figured out yet (which is more of a flatpak general issue) is how to get debugging symbols for libc.

That confusion is my bad: I did not update the version of the flatpak-package with the upgrade to Claws-Mail 3.18.0. The last update (the broken one, and also the most recent one) were Claws-Mail 3.18.0 with flatpak-package saying 3.17.8. I still need to fix that.

I think the solution is two-fold:
/lib/debug
path from clean-up instructions. That should preserve a lot more debug symbols. I just found out how flatpak handles debugging (extensions), so fixing this in the build instructions now.org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/20.08
, but can also be discovered through flatpak info -m org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail
)As for the specific issue: I suspect (but have not confirmed yet) that recent commits in libetpan
are causing this.
@crass thanks for your effort. You've pointed me in the right direction on a couple of things.
Closing this as this should be fixed with #23.
In trying to debug #18 I noticed that there's no debug symbols package, which could give better gdb backtraces and help with debugging crashes.
