We know. This is a result of a toolchain bug, #336114, and there isn't much
we can or should do about these crashes until we get some direction on how
that bug is going to be solved (though in unstable, as you can see there,
we rebuilt arts specifically to avoid the worst of the problem). Until
then, users will have to avoid partial upgrades, or they can work around
the crashes by disabling Sound Previews. I'm lowering this bug to
"important" for the time being, since it doesn't break the package for
everybody. Nevertheless, rest assured that we'll get this sorted out as
soon as possible.
Cheers,
Christopher Martin
