Bug#421854: libx11-6: opera: xcb_xlib.c:52 xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion 'c->xlib.lock' failed.Aborted



Package: libx11-6
Version: 2:1.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi Mr. Kroeger,

I am no longer intensely involved in X Window System packaging for Debian.
In the future, you can use the "reportbug" command from the Debian package
of the same name to file bugs.  It's interactive and very user-friendly,
and will help you file a high-quality bug report.

As I understand it, the XCB-linked Xlib has not yet propagated into
unstable, so you must be running experimental libx11-6 packages.

[Note to XSF: If I don't get to it first, please change the submitter on
this report to "Charlie Kroeger <ckrogrr@frankensteinface.com>" as soon as
it is convenient.]
