Hi
I installed Picasa using the a Google repo. When I try to search, appears a message saying that Google-testing is invalid: Bad id for repo: google testing, byte = 6
The repo was defined as described in http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/testrepo.html
And Picasa itself is not starting: I receive the following message: [mgarcia@d510 ~]$ picasa /usr/bin/picasa: line 139: 24613 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so /usr/bin/picasa: line 175: 24716 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR/wrapper" regedit /E $registry_export HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2\Preferences\ [mgarcia@d510 ~]$
Thanks
Marcelo

Google's instructions are bad. The error message translates to "character at offset 6 in repo id is bad", so rename
[google testing]
to
[google-testing]
(i.e. replace the space character with a non-space).
