Bug#226865: binary not the only possible reason
Hi!
I downgraded xbase-clients to the debian"testing" release version, but
the segmentation fault didn't disappear.
Because of this, and because the problem started after updating an
already up-to-date "unstable"-version of my debian system,
the binary file xkbcomp included in xbase-clients doesn't have to be
the only reason for this bug's behavior.
Instead, the shared libraries linked against it, may have something to
do with it.
Output of ldd /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp:
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x41661000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x41599000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x41019000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x41172000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x41000000)
These are the versions of all involved packages
(xkbcomp and linked shared objects):
My libc6 version is: 2.3.2.ds1-11
My xlibs version is: 4.2.1-15
My xbase-clients version is: 4.2.1-15
Annother thing I found out: If I activate keyboard layouts from the KDE
Controlcenter, which override those defined in XF86Config-4, "kxkb"
(included in kdebase-bin) also crashes with a segmentation fault.
I'm sorry, I'm not a programmer.
But if you need further information, please contact me via e-mail.
I will try to answer immediately.
Thanks,
Ulrich Lukas
