Hi all

I was wondering how to deal with bug reports automatically submitted by the operating system. It is often hard to verify for these bugs how exactly one could to provoke the issue but on the other hand it may be clear from the backtrace that some null pointer check (or related thing) is missing).

See for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1172484 for which I added a patch.
See for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1219264 which might be solved by trunk revision 12851 (or maybe revision 12838).

Do we mark these reports as fix committed (although we do not know how to provoke the issue)? Do we add a patch and wait for a specific amount of time for reactions? Any experiences on how is it dealt with for Ubuntu?

Kind regards
K
