xlibs 4.1.0-16woody5_i386 (libXpm.so.4.11) segfaults fvwm - fixed(?) with
upgrades(?)
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.1.0-16woody5
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
At this time, I'm no longer able to conveniently reproduce the problem.
Having noted that 4.1.0-16woody6 was released a while ago, I released
the hold on 4.1.0-16woody4, and upgraded to 4.1.0-16woody5, to see if
the problem would still be reproducible at this point, and I found that
I'm no longer able to reproduce the bug that easily.
Most likely the bug (which was quite reproducible when originally
reported) lies within negative interaction between 4.1.0-16woody5, and
earlier versions of packages depending upon that and/or fvwm and/or
fvwm2. There have also been some changes in XFree86 configuration (both
package versions, and also /etc/X11/XF86Config-4) in the months that
have passed, so that may also have been a factor. It's also possible
some other interaction may have triggered the bug (I've done roughly 133
individual package upgrades since the problem was originally reported -
the particular system is mostly a Woody/Sarge hybrid, and periodically
tracks the relevant security and other updates).
