Bug#172995: libc6: all Gnome1 / Gtk1.2 apps die with SIGSEG since upgrade to libc6 2.3.1
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Since upgrading libc6 to 2.3.1 (because certain new packages in sid depend upon 2.3.1), none of the GTK
1.2 applications work anymore; they all SIGSEG, according to gdb. Downgrading to the previous version
of libc6 (2.5.x - what's currently in testing) fixes the problem.
Apps affected include: sylpheed, xmms, gqview, gaim, dia, gnome-pim... among those I can remember.
See an example of what gdb tells, in my sylpheed bug report (Bug#110091).
