Dear Maintainer,

I just upgraded my computer from bookworm to trixie and, when I tried
to change some options in okular, I found that it would always crash when
trying to open the "Settings->Configure Okular..." dialog. That dialog
would open without issues in bookworm but it always crashes okular in trixie.
If I open okular in a terminal, I get these messages:

$ okular
qt.multimedia.ffmpeg: Using Qt multimedia with FFmpeg version 7.1.1 nonfree and unredistributable
qt.multimedia.ffmpeg: Available HW decoding frameworks:
KCrash: Application 'okular' crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$


I've tried deleting okular configurations in .config and .local, but that did
not help at all. I just lost my old configuration.

Regards,

Josep Guerrero

Hi again,

I just upgraded a second system to trixie, and in this one "Configure oKular"
is working as intended. The differences between the two systems I am aware of
are :

1) The first one, the one where "Configure oKular" crashes okular (let's call it
system A), had Debian originally installed around 24 years ago as a Debian
woody and both software and hardware have been kep updated/upgraded since
then. The system where "Configure oKular" works (let's call it system B)
started as bookworm around two years ago.

2) Base packages are the same for both systems, but there are lots of packages
accumulated over time in system A which are not in system B. I think all
packages in system B are also in system A.

3) Curiously enough, upgrade to trixie in system A worked flawlessly while in
system B I had to reinstall manually some KDE packages (kmail), which were
removed for some reason during the upgrade.

Regards,

Josep Guerrero
