Edit -> options crashes application

[iknowjoseph]

Running 1.2.0-1~jaunty1, clicking Edit -> options crashes the application.

Running the application from the terminal shows me:

joseph@joseph-work:~$ qgis Python support ENABLED :-) Loaded : Plugin Installer (package: plugin_installer) qgis.bin: /build/buildd/qgis-1.2.0/src/app/qgsoptions.cpp:565: void QgsOptions::getEllipsoidList(): Assertion `myResult == 0' failed. Aborted joseph@joseph-work:~$

Strange, I also have 3 different pc with qgis 1.2 installed from the same repository and I'm not hitting this problem. Did you any other previous version installed?

I previously had 1.0.2 installed - I apt-get remove'd that prior to the installation of 1.2.0, however.

Did you tried removing the ~/.qgis directory?

[iknowjoseph]

Yes, the application still crashes.

[iknowjoseph]

Fixed as per ticket 1919 - assume this can now be marked as a duplicate (or vice-versa) - still don't know why python-qgis wasn't installed as part of my original installation, however.

Thanks, Joseph
