Hello!

First of all, thanks for maintaining ParaView in Debian.

I noticed a segfault that can be obtained reproducibly.
It happens with query-based selections.

The steps to reproduce the segfaults are the ones detailed
in _Exercise 2.27 Performing Query-Based Selections_
of The ParaView Tutorial version 5.1 [1] (see page 59 or
pdfpage 67 [2]), which uses the can.ex2 example data file [3].

[2] http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/f/f7/ParaViewTutorial51.pdf
[3] http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/5/5d/ParaViewTutorialData.tar.gz

I get a segfault as soon as I execute step 6 (click the Run Selection
Query button).

Please investigate and fix this bug and/or forward my bug report
upstream.

Thanks for your time!
Bye.

Hello again,
I've just checked and the bug is still reproducible on current Debian
testing (paraview/5.4.1+dfsg3-1+b2).

Is there any progress?
Have you investigated?
Have you forwarded my bug report upstream?

Please let me know, thanks for your time.

Hello again,
I've just re-checked with paraview/5.4.1+dfsg4-2 and the segfault
(bug #837796) is still reproducible.

I am adding this info to the version tracking data of the Debian BTS...

I think this problem is now dealt with (paraview 5.11).

The query-based selection is not segfaulting now.  The values are
found as described in the tutorial, and the 3D can image gets
highlighting indicated the selection points.

There is a warning message if python3-paraview is not installed,
though the selection nevertheless proceeds without segfault.
Selection proceeds cleanly if python3-paraview is installed.
