I just checked the bug reports and see your advice to others with this
problem. I removed and re-installed imlib (imlib1) and it dod not fix
the problem, it still segv's.
I checked all the depends and the only thing that looks odd is that
the gqview package depends on xlib6g >= 3.3-5 in have 3.3.2.3a-11.
Now that might be OK. I just have never figured out the numbering
system to say, for sure, that I have a new version.

Naa, why bother. You did all the work to get it debianized, its your
right to put it whare you want it, IMMO. I can easily change it to
viewers if I ever get it working.
Thanks for the reply
