mkfontdir in testing xutils(4.0.2) segfaults
Hi. I'm very new to Sparcs, but managed to get debian installed on the
Ultra 2 my boss dropped on my desk. I used the potato CD image to boot,
then upgraded it to testing. Everything works ok, except when trying to
install X font stuff, it's failing because mkfontdir segfaults. This is
happening both with the default (potato) kernel, and the 2.4.1 custom
kernel I compiled. Is there something I'm maybe doing wrong, or should I
file a bug report? Thanks for any help anyone could offer.
