Crash after using memory data provider in python and adding the layer to the layer registry

[qgib]

Author Name: Thilo Schneider (Thilo Schneider)
Original Redmine Issue: 11562
Affected QGIS version: 2.6.0
Redmine category:pyqgis_console

---

The following code creates an immediate crash when inserted into the python console:

@
vectorlayer = QgsVectorLayer("Point?crs=epsg:31467", "Player", "memory")
vectorlayer.updateExtents()
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(vectorlayer)
@

If one first adds the vectorlayer to the layer registry and then updates the extends, QGis crashes not immediately but as soon as the map is redrawn the next time. The crash persists if I add features to the layer before adding it to the layer registry.

All third party plugins are disabled in my installation. The same code has been working in 2.4.

Is there anything else I can provide to make tracking the problem easier for you?

Yes, could you try to run QGIS with the @--noplugins@ option, please?

Problem solved. It turned out that I had an old dependency installed on my system.
