Description:
Recent package upgrade from 0.9.14-1 to 0.9.14-2 makes at least empathy and gnome-contacts segfault.

Messages like this appear in syslog when trying to open Empathy:

Similar log goes for gnome-contacts.

Downgrading to zeitgeist-0.9.14-1 solves the problem.
This task depends upon

I can confirm this. While reading through the changes of zeitgeist:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/zeitgeist&id=c42d3374fa2c08b8295d6d505f6eb577dd8c57b4
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75036

Probably the stuff written against the Vala-Binding failed silently in the past and now hits an other or older bug - because it actually works now?

Please check zeitgeist 0.9.14-3. The query generator is broken with Vala 0.24, I added a fix for that.

Thank you! I will give it a try today afternoon (CET). Looks like the official-mirror needs some time to catch up with you :-)

Empathy seems to be working at a first glance (starts up, connects fine). But gnome-contacts still segfaults as well as folks-inspect.

$ gnome-contacts

(gnome-contacts:11035): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_unref: assertion 'value->ref_count > 0' failed

I've installed "zeitgeist 0.9.14-3" and it still fails, as described by excieve.
