My sabnzbd service (from sabnzbd 1.1.1 package on Arch Linux) fails to start after recent updates:

● sabnzbd.service - SABnzbd binary newsreader
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sabnzbd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Sun 2017-01-08 11:58:20 CET; 1s ago

janv. 08 11:58:20 storm systemd[1]: sabnzbd.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.

I tried some obvious things without success:
- delete all *.pyc files
- rebuild package
- rebuild all dependencies

I rebuilt the python2 package with debug symbols and here is the full backtrace from the core dump: http://pastebin.com/raw/MQAHAfHE

So it looks that the segmentation fault happens while loading the dbus module (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_dbus_bindings.so).

Am I the only one getting this ? Any idea what could cause this and how this investigate ?

What happens when you run sabnzbd / sabnzbdplus / SABnzbd.py (I don't know the name on Arch) from the commandline? Up until where does it work? Can you post the sabnzbd.log (set to +Debug) from program start up till crash?

Same result, SIGSEGV with same core dump and empty sabnzbd.log:

Code: Select all

$ LANG=C sabnzbd                   
/usr/bin/sabnzbd: line 3: 11596 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) python2 /opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -f ${HOME}/.sabnzbd.ini "${@}"

Check for recent changes/updates to whatever package provides dbus and/or the dbus module? The sab package you linked hasn't been modified since mid november.

Yes, it is definitely not due to a sabnzbd update, but another package/conf.

I tried a few more tests:
* removed the "import dbus" in powersup.py => crashes similarly with libavahi.so from pybonjour.py
* removed the "LoadLibrary" in pybonjour.py => crashes similarly with libdnss.so from zconfig.py, so it looks like it fails to load any native lib
* created some simple python scripts with just "import dbus" and "import ctypes; ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libavahi-client.so.3')" => works OK
* replaced the whole SABnzbd.py script with just "import dbus" => works OK (started via systemd or called directly)

It seems something else in the sabnzbd modules initalization is causing the issue...
I guess next step is to run it in trace mode...

I ran sabnzbd with traces (python -m trace -t), the full log is here: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BypLM6B ... t=download

It ends like this:

Not sure this really helps...
